Stellenbosch FC coach Steve Barker says it’s important for his side to maintain a winning run of form ahead of their DStv Premiership clash against Royal AM.

The Maroons are set to welcome Thwihli Thwahla to the Danie Craven Stadium when the two sides square off in the DStv Premiership.

Stellies will come into this fixture on an 11 match unbeaten run in the league, with seven wins and four draws since their defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns in September last year.

The Cape Winelands outfit currently occupy fourth place on the table with 32 points from 19 games, while Thwihli Thwahla are placed 10th with 19 points from 19 matches.

Barker says his side will look to extend their unbeaten run in the league and walk away with maximum points against Royal AM.

“If you are able to get maximum points with home and away wins against opposition in the league it’s always good,” Barker told his club’s official website.

“We are desperate to keep getting those Ws behind us and this is a good opportunity for us to try and get a double over them.

Stellenbosch FC against Royal AM is scheduled to kick off at 15:30pm on Saturday.
