Predicting Stellenbosch FC's XI to face Orbit - Pirates target set to start against Saleng's side?

The Maroons travel to Olympia Park Stadium on Wednesday evening in high spirits after their 1–0 victory in the CAF Confederation Cup group-stage campaign. They now turn their attention to the resilient Mswenko Boys, aiming to secure crucial points in their push to climb the Premier Soccer League log. Still battling to escape the relegation zone, the Western Cape team sits on nine points in 15th place, while their opponents hold a four-point advantage above them.

Stellies go all out for bold CAF Confed Group stage start

The Western Cape side pulled out all the tricks in the book when they took their Congolese opponents, AS Otohô to Polokwane due to stadium unavailability in the Mother City. The move ultimately worked in Stellies’ favour, as they walked away with maximum points at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium, securing a one-nil victory in the dying minutes. It was the perfect start to their continental campaign, especially after falling short in the semi-finals of the previous competition.

What is wrong with Stellenbosch FC?

The Winelands club have been a steady PSL mainstay since they gained promotion to the top division in 2019. Last season saw them compete in continental competition for the first time where they reached the semi finals of the CAF Confederations Cup. Now, however, they find themselves mired in a relegation fight while trying to balance the demands of CAF competition once again.

Barker convinced Stellenbosch 'can still have a really special season'

The Western Cape outfit came out guns blazing in their league encounter, treating fans to an exciting contest packed with goals at Athlone Stadium against a resilient Arrows side that refused to back down until the final whistle. Despite their uneven form in the PSL, Stellies looked rejuvenated — and it wouldn’t be far-fetched to suggest that their recent CAF Club of the Year nomination provided the extra spark needed to clinch their second league win of the campaign.
