Teams: Stellenbosch v Highlands Park
Date: 09 November 2019
Venue: Cape Town Stadium
Stellenbosch and Highlands Park do battle in the Absa Premiership this afternoon, with both sides looking for a return to winning ways.
Stellenbosch were brought back down to earth following a 1-0 defeat to the resurgent AmaZulu in Durban on Wednesday evening.
The result left Steve Barker's troops in 13th position, four points adrift of Highlands who currently occupy fifth place.
The Lions of the North have hit a bit of a slump lately as they have only won one of their last five matches across all competitions.
Highlands' last clash ended in a disappointing 3-1 defeat away to Bloemfontein Celtic earlier this week, and Owen da Gama will be pushing for a swift response.
