The Stellies ended their run of three consecutive Betway Premiership without a win following their (1-0) victory over Marumo Gallants. Stellenbosch, who have been below par this campaign knew they can’t go four games without a breakthrough in the Premier League. Despite playing on their ground, they were the second best at the break and were lucky to have walked off with a stalemate. A few minutes into the second half Phili Langelihle broke the deadlock, scoring the only goal in the game.
Stellenbosch recorded a (1-0) victory on their ground, but their performances were once again not up to their standards. Stellenbosch have accumulated four points from a combined twelve, scoring twice and conceding four.
Steven Baker's men have lost once in their previous nine games at home.
Stellenbosch FC Lineup
Steve Baker will have to play more defensively against the defending champions who could be dangerous on their days. They must also be careful at the back, after seeing them get exposed in their last game against Marumo Gallants few days ago.

Stephens—Omega Mdaka, Thabo Moloisane, Mcaba, Nkwali—Mthiyane—Mojela, Devis Titus, Jabaar, Butsaka—Cupido

Mamelodi Sundowns FC: form and statistics
Last four games: DWWD
The Brazilians' last two league matches have been pretty disappointing, sharing the spoils in both games. Mamelodi Sundowns are currently running out of options upfront, with four goals scored across their last three games in all competitions. Their previous game in the league was a stalemate against Kaizer Chiefs a few days ago. Mamelodi Sundowns controlled the first half but were below par in the second half. Kaizer Chiefs restrained them as they had just two shots in the entire match, while allowing (4) on target.
The Brazilians have picked up eight points from their last twelve and are still two points below on the Betway Premiership standings. Miguel Cardoso’s men have won twice and drawn two times in four Betway Premiership games, scoring five and conceding once.
Mamelodi Sundowns are unbeaten across their last five games away from home in the Betway Premiership.
Mamelodi Sundowns Lineup
Coach Miguel Cardoso is blessed with top players who can come on to make a difference in any league match. However, the Portuguese have not been able to replicate last season’s form, and their attacking department have been struggling this time.
The absence of Ribeiro in the attacking third has hampered chances created by the defending champions.
Mamelodi Sundowns Potential Lineup (4-2-3-1)
Ronwen Williams—Basadien, Cupido, Khoza, Morena—Adams, Mokoena—Rayners, Allende, Sales—Peter Shulaili
Out: Ribeiro
Head Coach: Miguel Cardoso

Stellenbosch FC vs Mamelodi Sundowns FC match prediction 30 August 2025
Mamelodi Sundowns have been defensively solid in the league this season, but have been below par in front of goal. The defending champions have scored five goals while conceding once so far, which is very unlike the Brazilians.
Meanwhile, Stellenbosch have not lived up to expectations, winning just once across their last four Betway Premiership games. Their most recent game wasn’t impressive, but they got the job done regardless.
This meeting hasn't been impressive in terms of goals, and Mamelodi Sundowns have not lost in any of their last seven visits against Stellenbosch. The guests have struggled this season, but they are still one of the best and most dangerous in Africa.
Mamelodi Sundowns won’t lose this game, but I can’t guarantee they’ll win either. Stellenbosch won’t be able to match the guess intensity as they have struggled to get themselves together in recent games.
My match prediction is an away win or draw and under 2.5 goals for a coefficient of 1.91 on the 1xbet bookmaker.
My betting tip on this match is for this game to produce fewer than two goals for a coefficient of 1.60 on the Betway bookmaker.
My final betting tip is for a halftime stalemate at 2.01 on the Bet365 bookmaker.
Good luck!
