Stellenbosch will bring their CAF Confederation Cup campaign to a close against Tanzania's Singida Black Stars at Cape Town's DHL Stadium on Sunday.
Both sides' elimination from the tournament has already been confirmed, but a win could ensure Stellies gain vital momentum ahead of a critical stage in their Betway Premiership season.
Stellies sit 12th in the Premiership table and need to ensure that they move swiftly up the ranks and end the season in a fight for MTN8 qualification rather than survival from relegation.
Gavin Hunt has improved their domestic form since taking over from Steve Barker in December and sitting in the dugout for the first time last month, but results have taken a turn for the worse in the Confederation Cup.
Stellies had picked up four points from their first two group games prior to the mid-season break. However, they subsequently lost 2-0 away and 3-0 at home to CR Belouizdad before a 3-0 away loss to AS Otohô brought their hopes of progression to the quarter-finals to an end.
Last season's semifinalists will now look to save face by clinching third place with a home win against a team which they drew 1-1 to in Tanzania in November.

Team news:
Gavin Hunt faces a dilemma. He has often stressed the need in recent weeks for his team to play together and build chemistry - but with nothing left to play for in this fixture but pride, the new head coach will have to choose between giving minutes to newcomers and allowing his tried and trusted players to get to know each other under his vision.
Stellies have been linked with Olisa Ndah, who they might sign on a free transfer to bolster their defensive options. However, there has been no confirmation of his signature as of the time of writing.
