September 17th features a match where Sekhukhune United will play host to Stellenbosch in a clash of these two mismatched Premier League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 27 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. In their last match, Sekhukhune United recorded a 0-0 scoreless draw against Cape Town City. Neither Cape Town City nor Sekhukhune United could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 10 and 9 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a scoreless draw,. Sekhukhune United looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Stellenbosch recorded a 2-1 win against Moroka Swallows. Sinethemba Mthobisi Mngomezulu scored the first goal for Stellenbosch in the 28th minute, then Vusi Sibiya tied it up for Moroka Swallows on an own goal in the 37th minute. Stellenbosch is looking for direction having earned 12 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 2 draws each.
Stellenbosch’s most prolific scorer has been Júnior Mendieta. The Argentinian midfielder has netted 2 goals over the last 5 matches. Onassis Mntambo and Sepana Letsoalo are the top scorers for Sekhukhune United in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
