Five games without a win for Stellenbosch must be starting to be a bit uncomfortable. “Stellies” face the flustered Black Leopards at 15:00 this afternoon.

At Athlone Stadium in Cape Town, welcoming another struggling PSL minnow, Leopards, a sense of bagging the first three points in the elite league may not be a misplaced idea at this stage for Stellenbosch.

Pinning their hopes on this clash by the mere fact that it is a home fixture.

Travelling all the way from the blazing Limpopo sun, humidity may affect Leopards adversely. Humidity or not, they will sharpen their claws and go (all) out hunting for prey in Cape Town.

They [Leopards – “Lidoda Duvha”] too want good results badly. The dismissal of the technical team may be a blessing in disguise. For some players may rise to the occasion.

In a bad afternoon, nevertheless, the wounded Leopards situation may deteriorate and further polarise the team to collapsing in a heap to a lowly and lethargic Cape Town side.

Should the ball fall for Stellenbosch, they may become an effective predator, after all.
