Bidvest Wits chase first home win in Absa Premiership

Bidvest Wits will chase a first home win in the Absa Premiership this season when they host Stellenbosch at Bidvest Stadium on Wednesday. Kick-off is at 7.30pm.

Wits have won both away matches this season – including last week’s 1-0 victory at Polokwane City – but the Clever Boys’ only home match this term ended in a 1-0 loss to Baroka FC earlier in the month.

Stellenbosch have yet to win in their debut top-flight season, though they have recorded two draws: 0-0 at Chippa United in the opening round and 0-0 at home to Maritzburg United on Sunday. The Cape Winelands side will be aiming for a first three-point haul of the campaign.

In head-to-head terms, this will be the first top-flight meeting between Bidvest Wits and Stellenbosch.

However, when the latter team was still known as Vasco da Gama, the clubs met in two league games in the 2010/11 season: Vasco won 2-0 at home in September 2010, but the return game in Johannesburg in February the following year saw the Clever Boys rack up a 6-0 victory.
