Game Prediction
The South African Championship is currently in full swing. It's clear that there is no main intrigue, and nothing will prevent Mamelodi Sundowns from securing another title. However, there is a fierce battle for the second spot, and on Friday, there will be a face-off between two contenders: Stellenbosch will play at home against Cape Town City. It's also a city derby – it won't be boring! The website's editorial team publishes the forecast for this match on December 8, 2023.
Stellenbosch could make a breakthrough this season.
"Stellies" is a young project that emerged in 2016, initially as a relocation of Vasco da Gama to a new location. After four years, they made their debut in the local Premier League, and their results have been good but not outstanding. Last season brought a sixth-place finish. Now, there is a chance to break into the top three. This is despite a setback in August-September, with only one point in five matches. Regaining form later, the team almost flawlessly covered the distance. Only Chippa United held them to a 0-0 draw at home, while they defeated the other four opponents.

Cape Town City is rated higher than its neighbor.
The "Citizens" formally exist since 2016, but that's the date of another reformatting of the project. They managed to win the local League Cup at that time, and a couple of years later, they won the Cup of Eight, reaching the final twice, including in 2021. Last season, the "blue-gold" even closed the top three. Now there's a chance to surpass this result. There was a stumbling block at the turn of summer and autumn when the team couldn't secure even a single point in four consecutive matches, losing to everyone. But then they quickly regained form, winning all the last six rounds.
