Swallows vs Stellenbosch Prediction: No Chance of an upset

It is a season to forget for swallows who find themselves experience that sinking feeling again. They sit 5 points clear of danger zone, however, they will know that dropping points at this point of the season can spell the end of their stay in the DSTV Premiership. Nobody is expecting them to win their next match but a draw would be greatly appreciated if they were able to pull it off. They have Stellenbosch next.

Here are few markets to consider adding to your betslip...

3 Way - Stellenbosch FC 16/25

Stellenbosch comes into this weekend with a stronghold on second position in the DSTV Premiership. Unlike Orlando Pirates who have been scoring for fun lately Stellenbosch has achieved their objectives by being one of the most balanced teams in the league by a long distance. In the league they have enjoyed a steady stream of good results while keeping clean sheets in 3 out of their last three outings. This is in part thanks to their solid defence lead from the back by goalkeeper Sage Stephens, who has kept11 clean sheets this season so far. That is more than Darren Keet (10) and Stanley Nwabali (9) who was part of the Nigeria side that made it to the CAF Africa Cup of Nations Final earlier on this year.

That Staller defence has been matched by a superb attack, headed by Iqraam Rayners who has been the leagues stand out perfromer alongside Lucas Ribeiro (Mamelodi Sundowns) and Tshegofatso Mabasa (Orlando Pirates). These three players have secured 16 goal contributions of their respective teams this season. A feet made impressive by the gap between them and the 4 most prolific player in the league who has scored 11 goals (Bradley Grobler). It is no wonder Stellenbosch find themselves sitting in the top two of the DSTV Premiership this season.

Now that they are left with three games before the season comes to an end, they will have one eye on Orlando Pirates who are chasing them in search of the second spot. Their last three games include a trip to swallows, a home game against champions Sundowns and a visit to Richards Bay. Besides the Sundowns game, it looks to me like they are more than capable of securing maximum points from the games they have left.
