We take a look at 3 of the DSTV Premiership fixtures taking place this weekend and suggest a bet in each of them.
SATURDAY
TS GALAXY v SUPERSPORT UNITED
TS Galaxy are currently sitting second from bottom of the table and they have lost their last 2 matches, most recently 1-0 away at Baroka. Their last home game was a 3-0 defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns.
They face a SuperSport United side that is currently sitting 7th and have lost 3 out of their last 4 games. Most recently they went down 3-2 away at Orlando Pirates and they have only won 1 of their last 5 games on the road.
TS Galaxy home games have averaged 2.2 goals with an even percentage of over and under 2.5 goals for those who bet those markets while SuperSport United away games have averaged 1.9 goals also with a 50% split.

TS Galaxy 17/10
Draw 19/10
SuperSport United 19/10
Suggested Bet: The draw at 19/10
This should be a very tight encounter with a desperate Galaxy willing to fight for every point. SuperSport won the reverse fixture 2-1 at home, but I think that Galaxy can grab a share of the spoils here.
KAIZER CHIEFS v GOLDEN ARROWS
Kaizer Chiefs are 3rd on the table, but in pretty good form having taken 10 points from the last 12 they have played for. They beat Orlando Pirates 2-1 last time out and overall at home they have won 5 and drawn 1 of their 8 fixtures this season.
Golden Arrows are 11th on the table and have had 10 draws in their 20 matches, they haven't drawn 1 of their last 3 though and 2 of those have ended in defeat. Last time out at home to Chippa United and 3 games back at home to Cape Town City. In between that they did beat Maritzburg United 2-1 on the road. Golden Arrows have drawn 60% of their away matches this season.
Kaizer Chiefs home games have averaged 2.8 goals each with 4 of the 8 games breaching the 2.5 goal barrier and Golden Arrows away games have averaged 2.7 goals each with a 60% of the matches delivering profits for over 2.5 goal backers.

Kaizer Chiefs 23/20
Draw 39/20
Golden Arrows 29/10
Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals at 29/20
These sides are amongst the highest scoring in the Division and a look at the head-to-head form between them from last season shows a total of 9 goals over the 2 matches, very rare for the PSL.
SUNDAY
STELLENBOSCH v ROYAL AM
Stellenbosch are currently sitting 5th on the log, but on a poor run of form which has seen them take just 2 points from the last 9 they have played for. Last time out they lost 1-0 away at Marumo Gallants and their last home game was a 1-1 draw with Swallows.
Royal AM have been the real surprise package of the season and they currently sit 2nd on the log having won 3 and drawn 1 of their last 4 fixtures. They beat Swallows 1-0 at home last time out and their last 2 away games was a 2-0 victory at SuperSport and a 2-2 draw with Chippa United.
Stellenbosch home matches have been low scoring averaging just 1.8 goals each with 7 of the 10 matches failing to reach the 3 goal mark. The last 4 Stellenbosch home games have all delivered profits for under 2.5 goal backers.
Royal AM away games have been higher scoring, averaging 2.5 goals each with 60% of the games netting you a return had you backed under 2.5 goals.

Stellenbosch 13/20
Draw 5/2
Royal AM 5/1
Suggested Bet: Royal AM win at 5/1
Royal AM won the home leg 1-0 and given their lofty position on the table I am surprised to be getting 5/1 about their chances, I am backing this on price alone. For the more conservative punter you can get Royal AM (+.5) a goal which means you have got the draw in your favour at 23/20.
