Stellenbosch FC vs Kaizer Chiefs FC Prediction: This highly competitive game won’t deny us goals

The stage is set for one of the toughest games of the round as Stellenbosch FC lock horns against Kaizer Chiefs at the Danie Craven Stadium on Friday. The Stellies, who have managed one win at home in their previous six meetings against Kaizer Chiefs, stand a better chance of securing the maximum points. 

Stellenbosch FC (7th)

Last five games: LDLWD

The Stellies' struggles continue as they settled for a share of the spoils against Sekhukhune United. It could have been a perfect result; however, against a side who were reduced to ten men in the twenty-eight minutes, it turned out to be a disappointing display. Moreover, they were wasteful as well after firing eight shots on target with just a goal. This was after their emphatic (0-5) victory over Amazulu on the road. 

Stellenbosch have struggled lately but they never stopped playing as a team. The Stellies have picked up twenty points from a combined thirty-nine, scoring seventeen and conceding nine. 

Steven Baker's men have drawn twice, lost two games and won two matches on their ground this season. 

Kaizer Chiefs (5th)

Last five games: WLWLD

The Amakhosi are one of the most inconsistent teams in the division, and after watching their game against Sekhukhune United, I think they’ll finish below the top four. Kaizer Chiefs created loads of chances and could have won with more than three a goal margins; unfortunately, they found it difficult to get the ball into the net. The (2-2) stalemate was a disappointing result, considering the fact that they dominated the game. This was after their loss against Orlando Pirates on the road. 

Kaizer Chiefs have won three in their last six games, and this is not the standard required of a top team like Amakhosi. Nasreddine Nabi's men have picked up twenty-two points from a combined forty-eight, scoring nineteen and conceding nineteen.

Kaizer Chiefs have lost four, won twice, and drawn two over their last seven away games. 

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous ten meetings, Kaizer Chiefs have won five while Stellenbosch have recorded three wins and two games ending in a tie. Stellenbosch failed to impress in their (1-1) stalemate at home due to their lack of quality up front. Stellenbosch have consistently sold their key players to the top teams in the division, which has contributed to their struggle lately. They’ll square off against Kaizer Chiefs who have been below par this season and hardly convert their chances.

This is a big game, and both teams will be careful not to lose. Kaizer Chiefs are vulnerable at the back, and I’m most certain they won’t be able to keep a clean sheet against the Stellies. At the same time, the guests are capable of finding the back of the net. I anticipate an open game here with goals at both ends for 2.01 at (Bet365).

I also think the hosts will win in either half, as the guests have been inconsistent on the road this season; bet on home WEH for 1.87 at (Betway).

This game could produce more than two goals as I expect both sides to express themselves in front of goal for 2.40 at (1xbet).

Good luck!
