Betway Premiership
Teams: Stellenbosch FC v TS Galaxy
Date: 06 November 2024
Venue: Athlone Stadium
Time: 19h30
Stellies could not get a chance to fight for the right to defend their Carling Knockout trophy after they were eliminated 1-0 by Marumo Gallants in the quarter-finals on Sunday.
However, as the Cape Winelands side turn their focus back to the league, they extended their unbeaten run to five matches after edging the same Gallants 1-0 last week thanks to a late goal by Thabo Moloisane.
Steve Barker's charges are lying fourth in the standings with 11 points, four points behind second-placed Mamelodi Sundowns.
TS Galaxy, on the other hand, were not involved in the Carling Knockout quarter-finals and they were last in action last week, as their search for the first victory continued after a 2-0 defeat to Orlando Pirates.
The Rockets are the only side yet to win this season and are languishing at the bottom of the table with only one point.
Sead Ramovic will not be able to select Kamogelo Sebelebele who is suspended after he was red-carded against Pirates in the last minute.
Here's how they line up:
Stellenbosch FC: 17. Stephens, 24. Moloisane, 20. Barns, 21. Basadien, 45. Toure, 15. Butsaka, 8. Nduli, 34. Titus, 28. Palace, 18. De Jong, 9. Cupido
