TS Galaxy vs Stellenbosch Prediction: An even matchup

This match for the 1/8 round of the NEDBANK Cup will take place at Mbombela Stadium, with Stellenbosch playing host to TS Galaxy. The home team has a slight advantage going into this match, but Stellenbosch, which is the visiting team, will be hoping to stun the home team.

TS Galaxy comes into this match having won two of their most recent five matches against Golden Arrows and AmaZulu. On the other hand, they have lost one of their most recent five matches to Mamelodi Sundowns and drawn Kaizer Chiefs and Marumo Gallants FC. The team was responsible for both scoring and allowing five goals throughout the match. The TS Galaxy scored an average of 0.68 goals per game while allowing 0.55 goals against them. With a total of 115 fouls committed by both sides, the squad received one red card and 31 yellow cards. The percentage of time that TS Galaxy has been able to keep possession of the ball this season has averaged out to be 48.31%.

Stellenbosch's previous results were as follows: 3 wins against Cape Town City, Chippa United, and Richards Bay; 1 loss against Orlando Pirates; and 1 draw against Mamelodi Sundowns. During those encounters, Stellenbosch was able to score nine goals while also allowing nine goals to be scored against them. During the course of the current league season, Stellenbosch has scored 1.14 goals on average per game. In terms of disciplinary actions, the home team was given 30 yellow cards and one red card, which resulted in an average of 6.45 fouls for each game that they participated in. Stellenbosch is unable to maintain possession of the ball for some reason, as evidenced by their average possession percentage of 49.73 percent this season.

I anticipate that this game will be decided by the slimmest of margins, and I am looking forward to seeing more of the performance from the Stellenbosch team that is traveling here. When their histories are compared, it appears that the Stellenbosch team that comes to visit usually comes out on top. Yet, despite the fact that we believe they will be able to win this match, we believe that the total score will be less than 1.5 goals.
