Stellenbosch often utilize a 4-2-3-1 formation, emphasizing solid defensive organization and quick transitions through their skilled midfielders. Sekhukhune, on the other hand, prefers a 4-3-3 system, focusing on aggressive pressing and direct attacks. Their young forward line frequently breaks quickly, testing the opposition’s defensive structure.

3 Way - Sekhukhune United 3.45

It is a huge ask but, I am convinced that the away team, who are also the under dogs will come out trumps in this fixture. This is because Sekhukhune united are on a three match winning streak that started when they knocked TS Galaxy out of the MTN8 with a 3-2 win at home. They followed this up with an impressive win against Orland Pirates away from home and a win against TS Galaxy again at home. They are a team in red hot form and should not be taken lightly.

Stellenbosch on the other hand have struggled to find their feet in this season's PSL and they narrowly made it past Amazulu after an intensely contested match up in the quarter finals of the MTN 8. They followed that narrow win with a 2-0 loss to Kaizer Chiefs and a 1-1 draw away to Magesi. They look like a team that is yet to settle into their shape, strategy and tactics. they will struggle against Sekhukhune United and I believe it will be enough to see them crashing out of the competition.
