Teams: Stellenbosch v Bidvest Wits
Date: 04 January 2020
Venue: Cape Town Stadium
Stellenbosch will be looking to start the new year the way they ended the last when they host Bidvest Wits in the opening Absa Premiership clash of the year.
Steve Barker's charges moved off the foot of the standings with a 1-0 victory away to Baroka before the Christmas break.
As a result, Stellies moved up to 13th spot and could rise as high as ninth with three points this afternoon.
While Stellies had the luxury of a Christmas break, Wits were had no proper rest after their involvement in the CAF Confederation Cup last weekend.
The Clever Boys played to a goalless draw with Al Nasr last weekend, which has left the side winless after three group games.
When these two sides met at the Bidvest Stadium earlier this season, Wits ran out 2-1 winners thanks to goals from Thulani Hlatshwayo and Gift Motupa.
