TS Galaxy come into this fixture 8th on the table with 13 points from 9 matches and will look to bounce back after a 2-1 away defeat to Magesi last time out and a 2-0 loss to Pirates on the road prior to that.
Before that, they produced a convincing 3-1 home victory over AmaZulu but have struggled for consistency overall, alternating between wins, losses and draws in recent weeks.
Stellenbosch FC sit further back in 14th with 9 points from 10 matches and have endured a difficult start to the campaign winning 4, losing 4 and drawing 1 of their clashes.
Despite their struggles, they showed fighting spirit in an eventful 4-3 home victory over Golden Arrows in their most recent outing which took place just over a week ago, a result that broke a five-game winless streak.
Head-to-Head:
Stellenbosch have completely dominated this fixture in recent years, winning 10 of the last 15 meetings, with the remaining 5 ending in draws. The most recent encounter in February 2025 saw Stellies claim a 3-2 away win, while they also beat TS Galaxy in the MTN 8 Cup in 2024.
Odds: TS Galaxy 2.90 | Draw 3.00 | Stellenbosch FC 2.70
Verdict: Despite Stellenbosch’s superior record in this matchup, TS Galaxy’s home advantage and attacking spark could make the difference this time. I am expecting a competitive affair with goals at both ends.
Bet: Both Teams to Score – Yes at 2.25
Golden Arrows vs Marumo Gallants – click here to bet
Golden Arrows currently occupy 9th place on the log with 13 points from 10 games. They come into this clash looking to recover from a narrow 4-3 loss away at Stellenbosch, though their home form has been impressive and they have won 4 of their 5 games on home soil.
Their attacking lineup has shown promise, scoring 13 goals so far this season, although defensive form remains an issue as they have conceded 13.
Marumo Gallants sit level on points with Arrows but trail slightly on goal difference and are on an aggregate of 10 for with 10 against, leaving them in 10th. They head into this fixture unbeaten in 4 of their last 5 of which they have drawn 3 and won 1.
Gallants have proven to be stubborn opponents, with draws against Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns recently showcasing their talented defensive structure. The last time they played was roughly two weeks back where the put in a strong shift to beat Chippa United 2-1 at home.
Head-to-Head:
Golden Arrows have historically dominated this matchup, winning seven and drawing four of the last 11 meetings. The most recent league encounter in April 2025 ended in a 1-1 draw, while Arrows claimed a 2-0 home win in September 2024.
Odds: Golden Arrows 2.60 | Draw 2.90 | Marumo Gallants 3.00
Verdict: Arrows’ strong home record and historical dominance over Gallants make them favourites here. I believe this will be a tight, low-scoring contest decided by a single moment of quality.
Bet: Result – Golden Arrows to win at 2.60
