In a weekend match in week 18, on Sunday Mar 6th, Tshakhuma hosts Stellenbosch in a meeting of these two mismatched Premier League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 25 degrees, a perfect day for football. In their last match, Tshakhuma recorded a 3-0 shutout win against Baroka. Ndabayithethwa Ndlondlo scored the first goal for Tshakhuma in the 48th minute from the penalty spot, then Joseph Malongoane added another in the 67th minute In the end, Baroka couldn’t muster any offence and Tshakhuma ran away with the shutout win. Tshakhuma should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 18 points in their last 10 matches, while 5th placed Stellenbosch is fresh off their 2-2 draw against AmaZulu. Ashley Du Preez scored the first goal for Stellenbosch in the 29th minute, but Ceesay got the equalizer for AmaZulu in the 34th minute . Stellenbosch is looking for direction having 2 win and 3 losses in their last 10 matches.
In their last match together, in Athlone Stadium, Stellenbosch won by a score of 1 to 0. Ashley Du Preez scored the first goal for Stellenbosch in the 27th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring At the end of 90 a dissapointed Tshakhuma couldn’t manage to score, and Stellenbosch took the shutout win.
Kganyane Letsoenyo and Spiwe Msimango are the top scorers for Stellenbosch in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Tshakhuma is fortunate enough to have Ndabayithethwa Ndlondlo in top form. In the last five matches the midfielder has scored five goals.
