Teams: Black Leopards v Stellenbosch
Date: 02 February 2020
Venue: Thohoyandou Stadium
Resurgent Stellenbosch FC visit relegation-threatened Black Leopards in the Absa Premiership, with the view of sneaking into the top eight.
Steve Barker's side revived their campaign with a third straight after edging Polokwane City 1-0 last Saturday.
The Western Cape outfit are now looking up rather than down on the table, as they moved seven points clear of the relegation zone.
Meanwhile, Lidoda Duvha have gone through a fourth coaching change this season after parting ways with recently appointed Cavin Johnson, who was initially suspended by the club.
Johnson's assistant coach Allan Clark has been installed as caretaker coach in a surprise move.
Leopards are winless in their last seven games, with the last encounter ending in a 1-0 defeat to Cape Town City.
As a result, Leopards are languishing in third-from-bottom spot on the table, equal on points with Polokwane City and AmaZulu but with a better goal difference.
Stellenbosch: 35. Langeveldt, 2. Mobbie, 3. Ndlovu, 5. Mthethwa, 20. Robertson, 12. Scott, 8. Matsi, 29. Moon, 17. Karuru, 10. Rayners, 21. Isaacs.
Subs: 31. De Jong, 18. Skelem, 7. Van Rooyen, 6. Maroole, 3. Van Heerden, 47. Gould, 15. Bergman.
