Polokwane City vs Stellenbosch FC Predictions and Tips by Football Whispers
With our top football betting tips today, betting on the South African DSTV Premiership becomes easy. Here is how we have tipped Polokwane City and Stellenbosch to perform against each other in the second game of the season for both teams:
Contents
Under 2.5 Goals
- There have been two meetings in the past between Polokwane City and Stellenbosch. In both cases, the games ended with under 2.5 goals.
- The hosts lost their season opener by a goal to nil while Stellenbosch won by a similar margin, indicating that this will likely be a low-scoring encounter.
- Four of the last Stellenbosch's five games had fewer than three goals while a similar result was seen in three of the last five Polokwane matches.
Half-Time Draw
- A strong defensive showing in the season by both teams is why we expect this game to drag on without a breakthrough in the first half.
- The hosts will be keen to avoid a defeat in round two, knowing they lost all previous duels with Stellenbosch.
- We expect a resilient first half from the hosts, so the likelihood of it ending square at the break is high.

Polokwane City vs Stellenbosch Preview and Team News
Polokwane City
Polokwane lost their season opener against Cape City Spurs. They now play their second game of the season at home, hoping to salvage some points. Unfortunately, they have never defeated Stellenbosch in the past as they lost the previous two duels. However, the fact that they won their last home game 4-0 in the Mostepe Foundation Championship should hand them some hope of scoring at least once in this game.
Polokwane City predicted lineup: Mathebula, Nkwe, Nkaki, Nikani, Matuludi, Nana, Mashikinya, Maphangule, Appollis, Raphadu, and Chauke.
Stellenbosch FC
Dominating previous encounters with Polokwane City hands the visitors, Stellenbosch, a head start in this upcoming duel. Most importantly, the visitors bagged an emphatic 1-0 win over Orlando Pirates in the first game of the 23/24 season. They won the game despite having only 31% possession, so we should expect an even stronger showing in this round-two fixture.
Stellenbosch FC Predicted Lineup: Stephens, Rooyen, Toure, Moloisane, Basadien, Palace, Mthethwa, Adams, Titus, Rayners, and Wyk.
