Stellies vs Chiefs: Can Stellenbosch Break the Curse? PSL Showdown!

Stellenbosch FC and Kaizer Chiefs are set to clash in a highly anticipated Betway Premiership match at the Athlone Stadium this Sunday. Kick-off is at 5:30pm CAT.

Stellenbosch Aim to End Losing Streak

Stellenbosch are riding high after a thrilling 3-2 victory over AmaZulu FC in the MTN8 quarterfinal. A brace from Sanele Barns and a late goal from Langelihli Phili secured the win. Stellies are unbeaten in their last three competitive matches, including wins against SuperSport United (now Siwelele FC) and a draw with Cape Town City in last season's Betway Premiership.

Chiefs Look to Continue Dominance

Kaizer Chiefs, who missed out on MTN8 qualification, are aiming to maintain their unbeaten run. They drew their last two league games of the previous season against Polokwane City and Sekhukhune United, following their Nedbank Cup final victory over Orlando Pirates.

Head-to-Head Record Favors Chiefs

Stellenbosch have struggled against Chiefs, losing their last three competitive matches. Chiefs completed a league double over Stellenbosch last season and also won their Nedbank Cup clash.

Team News and Absences

Stellenbosch received a boost with the return of Lehlohonolo Mojela from injury. However, Kaizer Chiefs will be without Rushwin Dortley and Pule Mmodi due to injury and suspension, respectively.

Chiefs' Strategy for Success

Ashley Du Preez emphasized the importance of a strong mindset for Kaizer Chiefs to achieve their goals this season, stating, "We just have to be 100 per cent and win the PSL". The Amakhosi players are reportedly energised and focused on achieving their targets.

Will Stellenbosch finally break their losing streak against Chiefs, or will Amakhosi continue their dominance? This Betway Premiership clash promises to be a thrilling encounter.
