We take a look at the 2 PSL games taking place on Tuesday from a betting angle.
STELLENBOSCH v MARITZBURG UNITED
Stellenbosch are currently 12th on the table on 25 points, 4 points ahead of 13th placed Maritzburg United, having played 2 games more. Stellenbosch have been on something of a lean run of late with 4 draws and 2 losses in their last 6 starts and last time out they drew 1-1 at home to Bloem Celtic. They have only won twice in 12 attempts at home this season with 5 draws and 5 defeats and 33% of Stellenbosch home games have reached 3 goals or more.
Maritzburg United are coming off a 1-1 draw at home to Baroka and prior to that they lost 2-0 away at Pirates. That loss to Pirates broke a 5 match unbeaten run. Maritzburg have won twice in 10 matches on the road this season with 2 draws and 6 defeats. Had you being backing under 2.5 goals in each Maritzburg away game you would have collected profits in 70% of the games.

Stellenbosch 33/20
Draw 21/10
Maritzburg United 19/10
Suggested Bet: The Draw at 21/10
These sides drew 2-2 when they met at Maritzburg earlier in the season and while I am not necessarily expecting that many goals I do think the draw is a big runner here.
SWALLOWS v SUPERSPORT UNITED
Swallows are 5th on the table, 2 positions above SuperSport United who trail them by 2 points having played a game more. Swallows season has been dominated by draws with 14 draws and 8 wins in their 23 matches. They are coming off a 1-1 home draw against Orlando Pirates and 5 of their last 6 matches have finished all square. They have yet to be defeated at home with 5 wins and 6 draws.
Swallows home games are the lowest scoring in the Division averaging just 1.6 goals each and only 1 of their 11 matches would have delivered profits had you been backing over 2.5 goals.
SuperSport United are on a horrid run and haven't won in 8 matches. Their last game was a 1-1 draw at Black Leopards. They have been a mixed bag on the road this season with 4 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats in their 12 games, but interestingly SuperSport away matches are the highest in the Division averaging 2.7 goals each with 7 of the 12 games reaching 3 goals or more.
These sides drew 1-1 at SuperSport when they played earlier in the season.

Swallows 15/10
Draw 21/10
SuperSport United 21/10
Suggested Bet: The draw at 21/10
It feels like a bit of a cop out picking the draw in both matches, but in this one in particular I think there is value, given just how often Swallows share the spoils. In fact I quite like the double that we are going to get the draw in both games at odds of 17/2.
