Stellenbosch take aim at Golden Arrows in Betway Premiership

Stellenbosch take aim at Golden Arrows in Betway Premiership

Steve Barker's side come into this game on the back of a hard-fought goalless draw in the CAF Confederation Cup against Equatorial Guinea side 15 de Agosto de Akonibe.

The draw was a welcome respite following some poor league form that sees them sit in 15th place on the standings with just six points from their opening nine games.

Arrows, meanwhile, were last in action in the Carling Knockout where they overcame Sekhukhune United 3-1 and are six points better off than Stellies in nine place with 13 points, that incudes a recent 1-0 win over league leaders Mamelodi Sundowns.

Speaking after his side's recent stalemate, Barker told his club's website": It's always important that you don’t concede. '

"Keeping clean sheets is key to winning football matches, but we need to still continue working on converting more of the opportunities that we are creating, and in the final third execution and decision-making."

Arrows coach Manqoba Mngqithi says his team's improvement in recent weeks is encouraging.

He said on IOL: "They excite me, the team has improved in leaps and bounds in many aspects but we will have to see when it comes to real business whether we are where we think we are or still have a lot of work to do."
