The DSTV Premiership continues this weekend and on Friday we have one match with Maritzburg United taking on Swallows and we take a look at the game from a betting angle.
Maritzburg United are 13th on the log and not yet one hundred percent certain of PSL football next season. They bagged a much needed 3 points last time out when they beat Stellenbosch 1-0 on the road and prior to that they drew 1-1 at home to Baroka.
Maritzburg have played 12 matches at home this season, winning 3 and drawing 4, but they are undefeated in their last 4 home games taking 8 points out of a possible 12.
Maritzburg United home games have averaged 2.4 goals each this season with 5 of the 12 games delivering you profits if you had backed 2.5 goals. 4 of their last 5 home games have seen under 2.5 goal backers collect the money.
Swallow are 5th on the table and they will be known this season as a team which played out an incredible amount of draws. They had 15 draws in 24 matches and they have only lost once all season. They are coming off 3 successive 1-1 draws, most recently at home to SuperSport United.
Their last away game was a 1-1 draw at Bloem Celtic. 8 of their 12 away matches have finished all square this season and Swallows away games have averaged 2.3 goals each with 9 of the 12 matches failing to reach the 3 goal mark.
Swallows won the reverse fixture 2-0 at home back in December.
