There are two DSTV Premier League matches taking place on Saturday and we take a look at each of them from a betting angle.
CAPE TOWN CITY v SUPERSPORT UNITED
Cape Town City are 7th on the table and on a run of 8 matches without a victory. Last time out they played to a goalless draw at home to Baroka and having been one side you could bank on when it came to goals earlier this season, 4 out of their last 5 matches have now resulted in under 2.5 goals.
Cape Town City have only won 3 out of 10 home matches this season and their home games remain the highest scoring in the PSL, averaging 3.3 goals each with a 60% win rate for the over 2.5 punters.
SuperSport are 4th on the log and also battling to get victories and have drawn 4 and lost 1 of their last 5 matches. Last time out they drew 1-1 away at Stellenbosch and they have now gone 4 away matches without a victory.
Looking at SuperSport’s goal stats, their away games are the highest average scoring in the PSL with 2.7 goals a game and they also have a 60% success rate for those backing over 2.5 goals.

Cape Town City 39/20
Draw 31/20
SuperSport United 41/20
Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals at 13/10
The goals may have dried up a bit in Cape Town City’s recent matches and given SuperSport’s season’s stats at home and away games, I am prepared to take a chance at current prices.
TS GALAXY v TSHAKHUMA
Galaxy are 8th on the log, but slipping down the table after back-to-back defeats, away at Bloem Celtic and at home to Maritzburg United. They have won 4 and drawn 2 of their 10 home matches and digging deeper into their goal stats shows their home games averaging 2.2 goals each with 60% of the matches failing to reach 3 goals.
Tshakhuma are 15th on the table and have only taken 1 point from the last 12 they have played for. Last time out they were beaten 3-1 at home by Mamelodi Sundowns and their last away game was a 2-0 defeat to AmaZulu.
Their away form has been their problem with just 1 win in 10 matches and Tshakhuma away games are the lowest scoring in the PSL averaging just 1.6 goals each with only 1 of the 10 matches getting to the 3 goal mark.

TS Galaxy 23/20
Draw 21/10
Tshakhuma 53/20
Suggested Bet: Galaxy win at 23/20
This should be a tight low scoring affair and if I was to take a punt on the correct score it would be Galaxy 1, Tshakhuma 0 at 71/4, but for now I will go the more conservative play of Galaxy just to win the match.
