The DSTV Premier League continues on Tuesday with 3 matches and we take a look at each of them from a betting angle.

BAROKA v TSHAKHUMA

Baroka are currently 9^th on the table and still very much in the running for a Top 8 finish. They broke a run of 3 matches without a victory when they beat AmaZulu 1-0 on the road last time out. They have only lost 1 of their last 8 games, all 8 of those games would have delivered profits had you been backing under 2.5 goals.

Tshakhuma got a much needed victory on the weekend, beating Maritzburg 1-0 at home and that lifts them out of the relegation zone into 13^th spot. Another win here would probably be enough to see them stay up. Tshakhuma’s last away game was a 1-0 defeat to SuperSport and they have only won 2 of 13 away games this season, including 3 of their last 4

Baroka 31/20

Draw 19/10

Tshakhuma 23/10

Suggested Bet: The draw at 19/10

I can see this being a tight, low scoring affair, but with under 2.5 goals trading as short as 5/10, I am going to go for the draw which I think offers the better value. Both teams would love 3 points, but I think they may approach this game with a “do not lose attitude”.

SWALLOWS v STELLENBOSCH

Swallows are 5^th on the table and incredibly they have drawn 8 of their last 9 matches and their last 5 games have all finished 1-1. Last time out they drew 1-1 with Chiefs and prior to that 1-1 with Maritzburg United. Their last two home games were against SuperSport and Pirates, both finishing 1-1.

Stellenbosch have gone 9 matches without a victory and they have also drawn 5 of those 9 games while losing the other 4. Last time out they played to a goalless draw at home to Pirates but their last away game was a 1-0 loss at Chippa United.

Swallows last 7 PSL matches have had under 2.5 goals in them and Stellenbosch are not far behind in that department, their last 6 games failing to reach the 3 goal mark.

These sides drew the reverse fixture at Stellenbosch, you guessed it, 1-1.

Swallows 11/10

Draw 2/1

Stellenbosch 33/10

Suggested Bet: Correct Score, 1-1 at 19/4

Okay this run of Swallows 1-1 draws has got to end, but we profited from this bet last time out and are prepared to give it another go.

If you are looking for a more conservative option, the draw is available at 2/1.

CHIPPA UNITED v BLOEM CELTIC

Chippa United are currently 15^th on the log and desperate for a victory after Tshakhuma sent them into the relation zone when they won their match on the weekend. Chippa are undefeated in their last 4 with 2 wins and 2 draws, most recently drawing 0-0 at home to Leopards and prior to that beating Stellenbosch 1-0 at home. Chippa’s last 5 games have all had 1 goal or less in them.

Bloem Celtic are 11^th on the table and are not yet certain of PSL football next season. They have drawn an incredible 13 out of their 27 matches, losing 9 and winning 5. They haven't won in their last 6 games with 5 draws and 1 loss and last time out drew 0-0 at home to Cape Town City. 8 of their last 10 PSL matches have had 2 goals or less in them.

These sides drew the reverse fixture 1-1 all at Bloem Celtic.

Chippa United 33/20

Draw 2/1

Bloem Celtic 2/1

Suggested Bet: Chippa United win at 33/20

Chippa are in reasonable form and are desperate for points and I think they can take a step towards safety with all 3 points here.

Under 2.5 goals is trading predictably short at 9/20 and if I do add anything here it will be a correct score, prediction of 1-0 to Chippa United at 5/1.
