Golden Arrows vs Stellenbosch FC: Prediction and odds on the Match on 03 May 2025
Golden Arrows, who have picked up a win in their last five Betway Premiership games, will host an incredible Stellenbosch side at the Mpumalanga Stadium on Saturday.
The Green and Gold side, who are five points above the relegation zone, are well positioned to remain in the league this campaign, and a win will help augment their dream. The Stellies, on the other hand, must secure all the points to guarantee them a spot in the continental competition next season.

The Green and Gold have now gone three fixtures without a breakthrough, marching here with a defeat on their ground against Amazulu FC. In a game of few chances, Golden Arrows fired just one shot in the entire game and deserved to lose. Manqoba Mngqithi’s men had more possession of the ball and were heading for a share of the spoils until Amazulu FC broke the deadlock in the 84th minute to dash the hope of the hosts.
Their most recent game was similar to the game against Marumo Gallants, where they managed two shots on target and allowed twenty-three shots. Golden Arrows settled for a (1-1) against Marumo Gallants away from home.
Despite their struggle lately, the guests have suffered just one defeat in their last four Betway Premiership games in the league. Golden Arrows have picked up twenty-nine points from a combined sixty-nine, scoring eighteen and conceding twenty-two.
Golden Arrows have won three, lost five, and drawn three on their ground this campaign.
Golden Arrows Lineup
The Green and Gold are not consistent with their team selection, especially in the middle of the park. With Brandon Junior not in contention after his injury against Amazulu, we expect Thabo Matlaba to replace him.
Since the arrival of former Mamelodi Sundowns coach, Golden Arrows have operated in a (4-2-3-1) formation, giving them the license to quickly transition from defence to attack. However, it hasn’t been a smooth sail for them, considering the level of their opponents in recent games.
Golden Arrows Starting Lineup (4-2-3-1)
Edward Maova—Thabo Matlaba, John Mwangeni, Gladwin Shitolo, Sbonelo Cele—Nqobeko Dlamini, Velemseni Ndwandwe—Nduduzo Sibiya, Savi Gumbi, Siyanda Mthanti—Knox Mutizwa
Out: Brandon Junior Theron
Head Coach: Manqoba Mngqithi

After their disappointing outing in the CAF Confederation Cup, Steven Baker's men recorded a deserved (1-0) victory over Chippa United. Stellenbosch began the game with great intensity but were unable to penetrate their opponents’ low block. Stellenbosch FC were patient enough and controlled the possession. They found the back of the net in the 83rd minute with Sanele Barns scoring the only goal.
The victory means Stellenbosch will remain in fourth place on the standings, and despite playing two games less than Sekhunkhune United, they stand a chance of finishing in third place.
Stellenbosch FC have lost just once in their last ten matches, finding the back of the net in eight games.

The only notable absentee here is Ashley Cupido, who has missed their last three matches.
