Durban City vs Stellenbosch Betting Tips - Carling KO Cup clash to end in draw after 90 minutes
Durban City and Stellenbosch meet with a draw tipped as the main selection, based on their history of three consecutive 0-0 draws in previous encounters. Both teams have struggled for league wins, with Durban City recording just one win in their last 16 league matches and Stellenbosch drawing three of their last four. The article also notes that both sides have limited attacking output, further supporting the draw prediction. The fixture is expected to be closely contested, with extra time a possibility if the deadlock continues.
- Draw tipped in Durban City v Stellenbosch after three straight goalless meetings.
- Both teams have struggled for league wins and have drawn several recent matches.
- A 1-1 draw is predicted, with extra time potentially needed.
These two sides have met three times previously, all of which ended in goalless draws. I do not see much different here, so this game could go the distance.

Durban City League Struggles
Durban City’s last 16 league matches have brought just one win. In the CAF Confederations Cup, they’ve won all four of their qualifying matches.
A 0-0 home draw vs Stellenbosch was followed by beating Rukinzo both in the first round of CAF Confederations Cup qualifying. A 2-0 loss at Orlando Pirates and a 1-1 draw at Milford came next.
After the appointment of new coach Eric Tinkler, they lost 2-1 in the PSL at home to AmaZulu. In the second CAF qualifying round, they beat Port Louis 3-1 at home and then won 3-0 in Mauritius in the second leg.
Stellenbosch Finding their Feet
Stellenbosch’s last 12 PSL matches have seen just three wins. They’re unbeaten in four matches as they regain some form (DDWD).
A 3-1 home win over Marumo Gallants saw debutant Quwan Plaatjies score a hattrick. After losing 1-0 at Golden Arrows, Stellies drew 0-0 at Durban City and 1-1 at home to Sekhukhune United.
A key 1-0 win followed at Kruger United with just 38% possession. Their last match brought a 1-1 draw at Kaizer Chiefs in a strong performance.
Predicted Lineups & News
Durban City (4-3-2-1): Asare; Shandu, Ncanana, Mkhize, Mokone; Jurgens, Sanger, Poggenpoel; Sirino, Domingo; Lwamba.
Midfielders Kyle Jurgens and Gaston Sirino were taken off early on Sunday ahead of this match. Bandile Shandu was also given a breather and will start here.
Malian left back Alou Doumbia is battling John Mokone to start this one. Haashim Domingo has scored in the last two matches and will feature behind the striker.
Haashim Domingo could keep his place in a wide role after scoring last week. Samkelo Maseko will hope for a recall in this one.
Stellenbosch (4-3-3): Stephens; Nkwali, Msimango, Vena, Mashego; Blom, Matlou, Matsheke; Daniels, Kwayiba, Plaatjies.
Stellies will hand midfielder Njabulo Blom another start in midfield. Tluksani Mthethwa is a long-term injury absence in midfield.
Bradley Grobler may find himself on the bench once again. Coach Gavin Hunt could play either a back three or a back four depending on his approach.
Verdict
I see this ending in a 1-1 draw, with extra time required.
