Stellenbosch FC vs Supersport United FC Prediction: The Stellies are expected to quickly adjust positively after their recent loss on the road

Stellenbosch FC vs Supersport United FC: Prediction and odds on the Match on 17 May 2025

Stellenbosch FC will strive to flip the script when they lock horns against Supersport United at the Danie Craven Stadium on Saturday. 

The Stellies, who were overpowered by the Betway Premiership Champions, can’t afford to switch off at any point against their guests tomorrow. At the same time, Supersport United will be hopeful of securing back-to-back wins for the first time since last year.

The Stellies' three straight wins ended with a devastating defeat against Mamelodi Sundowns, and they must now win their remaining matches to play continental football next season. Stellenbosch were humbled by the champions, who scored three quick goals to amass all the points. Mamelodi Sundowns threatened Stellenbosch's defence from the start of the game, with Lucas Ribeiro opening the scoreline in the 6th minute, while Rayners and A Sales scored in the twelfth and eighteenth minutes to hand the champions the league title. 

Before then, they defeated AmaZulu (1-0), won (1-0) against Chippa United and recorded a (0-3) victory over Golden Arrows. Their recent loss means Stellenbosch will remain in fourth place on the standings, and are now a point behind the top three. 

Stellenbosch FC have lost twice in their last twelve Betway Premiership matches, finding the back of the net in nine games. They have been one of the most consistent teams in the Betway Premiership lately, barring their loss against a stubborn Mamelodi Sundowns and Magesi. 

The Stellies have picked up forty-four points from a combined seventy-eight, scoring thirty-two and conceding twenty. 

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

Stellenbosch FC Lineup

Experienced goalie Stephen Sage is back from injury, and he’s available against Supersport United tomorrow. Coach Steve Baker is an attacking-oriented tactician, and they’ll attack from the start till the end. Stellenbosch will continue their quest to play continental football next season. Ashley Cupido, who has missed their last four matches, is still not available for this crucial fixture. 

Stellenbosch FC Potential Starting Lineup (4-2-3-1)

Supersport United FC: form and statistics

Last five matches: LDDDW

After six games without a breakthrough, the Spartans secured the maximum points against a struggling Chippa United. Supersport United have been playing some good football before then, but it hasn’t reflected in their results. 

Supersport United got the first goal by none other than their top scorer, Bradley Grobler, at the break. They maintained the same pace in the second half and were rewarded with another goal in the 48th minute. They amassed all the points on their ground in a (2-0) victory over Chippa United to end their run of six games without a victory. 

The Spartans are unbeaten in their last four Betway Premiership matches, sharing the spoils three times and recording a win. Supersport United has kept three clean sheets in fourteen Betway Premiership matches. 

Andre Arendse’s men have picked up twenty-six points from a combined seventy-two, scoring sixteen and letting in twenty-four goals.

Supersport United have been inconsistent on the road, winning two of their last thirteen away games. 

Supersport United: Lineup

The hosts' interim coach, who took over from Gavin Hunt, has been fantastic lately, and I’m sure he’ll be keen to maintain such momentum against a solid opponent tomorrow. No major injury news for Supersport United, and Bradley Grobler will be keen to get his scoring boost against the hosts tomorrow. 

Supersport United Potential Starting Lineup (4-2-3-1)

Ricardo Goss—Lyle Lakay, Thulani Hlatshwayo, Ime Okon, Nyiko Mobbie—Sipheshihle Ndlovu, Gape Moralo—Christian Saile, Lebohang Mahoe, Siviwe Magidigidi—Bradly Grobler

Head Coach: Andre Arendse
