Stellenbosch FC news

Back in Premier Soccer League action, the KwaZulu-Natal outfit aimed to build on their strong cup form as they hosted Gallants in a challenging home fixture at King Zwelithini Stadium on Sunday evening. With momentum on their side, Arrows looked to keep their winning rhythm alive in front of their home fans.

The former Sea Robber star linked up with the former Bucs' defender even though he had attracted interest from an ex-Kaizer Chiefs head coach. In his new club, the coach is ready to help him get back to his top-level form after battling injuries for a long period.

Three TS Galaxy vs Stellenbosch predictions for their Premier Soccer League clash on Sunday afternoon, including value on the match result.

The diminutive midfielder struck twice and combined well with his former Pirates teammate in one of his goals as Bahlabane ba Ntwa romped to a 4-0 victory over the Maroons in a Beer Cup quarter-final match at the Dr Petrus Molemela Stadium on Wednesday. It was a rain-drenched evening as the Cape Winelands side suffered their biggest defeat of the season.

The 21-year-old winger is in his second season playing top-flight league football. After making just one appearance last term, he has improved himself to become an important player for TS Galaxy. For someone who came through the development ranks of AmaZulu and Cape Town City, he is showing that he had a good football education growing up.

The new season launched in early August and clubs are officially or unofficially revealing their new kits with a wave of newly unveiled third kits coming in October.

The South African League Cup will have new kings after the defending champions were eliminated by the Sea Robbers. Although Bucs are seen as favourites, the Soweto giants are not immune to the surprising results and upsets always associated with domestic competitions.

To reach the quarter-finals, Stellies defeated Kaizer Chiefs after winning a post-match penalty shootout. Bahlabane Ba Ntwa also overcame a formidable opposition in the Round of 16, beating Mamelodi Sundowns in a dramatic penalty shootout.

There is a chance that the Premier Soccer League sides might find themselves in the same group. Unlike last season, the Maroons will seek to advance further after they were eliminated at the semi-final by Tanzania's Simba SC, then under Fadlu Davids.

South African teams were in action this weekend in the second leg of the preliminary rounds of both the Champions League and the Confederation Cup. Pirates and Sundowns did action in the continent’s premier competition - the CAF Champions League - while Chiefs and Stellies were playing in the Confederation Cup.

The Cape Winelands side returned to Athlone Stadium on Sunday, 26 October, aiming to break the deadlock after a goalless first leg played in tough conditions in Equatorial Guinea. With home support behind them, they looked to seize control and book their place in the next round with a decisive performance.

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.

The Soweto Giants came into the Wednesday game as favourites owing to their recent results domestically and abroad. They needed maximum points to sustain their hopes of ascending to the summit of the table and stand a chance to challenge for the South African top-flight crown by the end of the ongoing campaign.
