Diski Team to Face Stellenbosch FC in Early League Title Clash

As Mamelodi Sundowns’ Diski Team prepares to meet with the Stellenbosch FC Reserves at the Solomon Mahlangu Stadium this Saturday, the backdrop is more than just another DStv Diski Challenge clash; it is an early critical juncture in the title race as both sides will be fighting for second place on the tally.

Last week’s 1-1 draw against Magesi FC saw the young Brazilians hold on to the second-place position, also extending their points by only one. Having dropped points last week, they will look to return to winning ways and get the rub of the green.

The Pretoria-based side meets a Stellenbosch side that emerged victorious in their previous match, having won in a tight battle that ended with a 3-2 result. Furthermore, previous results between the two sides in the last two seasons have been in favour of the side based in the Winelands. In a festival set-up, Bafana Ba Style will look to battle for a favourable result, which will see them win their first match against Stellenbosch in five games. With how positive the season has been for coach Tiro van Rooyen’s charges, a positive result is possible.

This is not merely about three points to add to the tally; it’s also a testament to how the two sides will be able to execute their technical plans under pressure. For both Masandawana and Stellies, this fixture could significantly shape their Reserve League campaigns.

Set for a 12H00 kick-off at the Solomon Mahlangu Stadium, the match promises an intriguing subplot in the Reserve League. Supporters can catch the action live on SuperSport TV.
