SATURDAY
CAPE TOWN CITY v GOLDEN ARROWS
Cape Town City have got off to a slow start to the season and currently sit in 12th place on 6 points with only 1 win in their 6 matches. They have only taken 2 points from the last 12 they have played for and most recently lost 1-0 away at Sekhukhune and their last 2 home games were a 1-1 draw with Pirates at a disappointing 3-0 loss to Stellenbosch and they have yet to win at home this season.
Golden Arrows are 8th on the table with two losses in their 7 matches and one of those came last time out, a 1-0 defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns at home. Looking at their away form they have played 3 with 2 draws and 1 loss. Golden Arrows games have tended to be full of goals and the Mamelodi Sundowns match apart, both teams have scored in their remaining 6 matches, 5 of those 6 games would have made you a profit had you backed over 2.5 goals.

Cape Town City 12/10
Draw 21/10
Golden Arrows 5/2
Suggested Bet: Both teams to score, YES, at 21/20
I am going to ignore the fact that Arrows could not score against Sundowns as Sundowns are just in a different class this season and based on the form in their previous matches we should get goal mouth action at both ends and hopefully a couple finding the back of the net. The head-to-head stat also supports this bet which would have arrived in their last 4 League meetings.
SUNDAY
CHIPPA UNITED v SWALLOWS
Chippa United are 14th on the log, 1 point and 1 position behind Swallows who sit 13th. They haven't had a win since the opening day of the season and they lost 4 of their last 5 matches including a 4-0 hammering at Kaizer Chiefs last time out. They have yet to win at home this season with 2 draws and 1 loss.
Swallows are coming off a 1-1 home draw with Stellenbosch and their last away game was a 3-0 beating at the hands of Mamelodi Sundowns. Other away matches have seen them lose to Pirates 1-0 and draw 0-0 with AmaZulu.
Chippa United matches averaged 1.9 goals this season and Swallows games have only averaged 1.4 goals each.
These sides played out 2 draws last season, 2-2 at Chippa United and 1-1 at Swallows.

Chippa United 16/10
Draw 2/1
Swallows 18/10
Suggested Bet: The draw at 2/1
There wasn’t anything between these sides last season, I am expecting another close game and most likely a low scoring encounter. If I was looking at the Correct Score Market, I would probably go with a 0-0 or a 1-1.
SUPERSPORT UNITED v KAIZER CHIEFS
SuperSport United are 2nd on the log, 4 points behind Mamelodi Sundowns. They have yet to lose this season and have won 3 of their last 4 games including last time out when they beat Baroka 2-0 at home. They have 100% record at home in 3 starts with the other victories 2-1 over Maritzburg United and 3-1 over Golden Arrows.
Kaizer Chiefs have moved up to 9th on the table after a much needed victory, 4-0 over Chippa United last time out. That broke a run of 4 matches during which time they only collected 2 points and they have yet to win on the road in 3 attempts this season with all 3 games finishing as draws.
SuperSport have won their last 2 home fixtures against Chiefs in the League both by 2-1 margins.

SuperSport United 17/10
Draw 2/1
Kaizer Chiefs 18/10
Suggested Bet: SuperSport United win at 17/10.
Have Kaizer Chiefs turned the corner? I am not so sure and I still make SuperSport clear favourites to win this one.
