High-stakes derby as City fight for survival, Stellenbosch eye Africa
Weekend Argus on Saturday
|May 24, 2025
CAPE Town City will host Stellenbosch FC in a derby that carries weighty consequences at both ends of the Premiership table.
This eagerly anticipated clash at the Cape Town Stadium, the final league fixture of the 2024/25 season for both sides, comes with significant ramifications.
Stellies are aiming to secure third place and a ticket to the CAF Confederation Cup, while City are fighting to avoid the relegation play-offs.
Stellenbosch go into the weekend on 47 points, three ahead of Sekhukhune United in fourth.
A win will confirm their continental qualification, regardless of other results.
On the opposite end, 15th-placed City sit on 26 points, just one behind Golden Arrows and SuperSport United, and must win while hoping Abafana Bes’thende and Matsatsantsa drop points to avoid the dreaded play-off spot.
