Relegation-threatened Stellenbosch will be desperate to turn around their fortunes in the Cape derby against Cape Town City on Friday evening.
DStv Premiership
Teams: Stellenbosch v Cape Town City
Date: 27 January 2023
Venue: Danie Craven Stadium
Time: 19h30
Stellies are smarting from a heavy 4-1 defeat to Orlando Pirates over the weekend, which saw them go nine games without a win.
Steve Barker's charges, as a result, have dropped down to 15th spot on the table with 17 points and need a win to boost their survival hopes.
The Citizens, meanwhile, have been effective since the restart, as they have revived their season by collecting ten points from the maximum of 15.
City are unbeaten in their last three matches after edging TS Galaxy 1-0 exactly a week ago and climbed up to seventh on the table with 23 points, seven points behind second-placed Richards Bay.
Stellies have not lost a Cape derby against City in the last four clashes after the Citizens halted a three-game losing streak following a 1-1 draw in the first round meeting.
Here's how they line up:
Stellenbosch: 17. Stephens, 28. Makhanya, 25. Andries, 7. Van Rooyen, 6. Mthethwa, 10. Mendieta, 22. Sibande, 27. Jabaar, 23. Adams, 34. Titus, 42. Boji
