BettingDiaryThere is a full house of PSL fixtures taking place in mid-week and we suggest a bet in each of the games.

 

 

 

TUESDAY

Cape Town City v Kaizer Chiefs – Click here to bet

Cape Town City are bottom of the table with only 2 points from their 5 matches. Those 2 points have come in successive draws at home to Maritzburg United and last time out Stellenbosch. Cape Town City have only managed 1 goal at home in the 3 matches.

Kaizer Chiefs have been a bit hit and miss this season, they sit 8th on the log with 2 wins and 2 losses in their opening 4 games, last time out they beat Richards Bay 1-0 at home, but they have lost both their away games without scoring a goal. This fixture finished goalless last season.

Cape Town City are struggling at home and Chiefs are battling on the road and I think this ends in a draw.

Suggested Bet: The draw at 2/1

Swallows v Sekhukhune United – Click here to bet

Swallows are 12th on the table with 4 points out of a possible 12 and they sit two positions and 1 point behind Sekhukhune who have 5 points from their opening 4 matches. Swallows lost 3-2 at home to AmaZulu last time out and their previous home game was a 3-2 win over Cape Town City. The goals have flowed in their home matches.

Sekhukhune got a valuable 1-1 draw with Sundowns at home in their last match and all 4 of their games have had two goals or less in them this season. Last season the away team won both fixtures 1-0.

I am going to go for Swallows home games high scoring fixtures to continue and will bet that there are 3 goals or more in the game

Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals at 39/20

 

WEDNESDAY

Mamelodi Sundowns v Stellenbosch – Click here to bet

Sundowns have got off to a fairly slow start by their standards although they sit 4th on the table, 3 positions and 1 point ahead of Stellenbosch who are unbeaten after 4 games. Sundowns are coming off a 1-1 away draw at Sekhukhune. Stellenbosch’s last match was also a 1-1 away draw at Cape Town City.

Stellenbosch may provide some early resistance, but I think Sundowns will be too strong in the end and I am going to back them to win by more than a goal.

Suggested Bet: Handicap, Sundowns -1.5 goals at 33/20

 

AmaZulu v Golden Arrows – Click here to bet

AmaZulu currently sit top of the table on 10 points from their 4 matches and they have won their last 3 in a row including beating Swallows 3-2 away last time out. Golden Arrows are second from bottom of the table with just 2 points in their 4 matches and last time out they drew 0-0 at home with TS Galaxy.

Both fixtures between these sides delivered for over 2.5 goal backers last season as have 3 of the 4 AmaZulu matches in the League this season and I am going to go over 2.5 goals at a big price.

Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals at 18/10

 

Chippa United v TS Galaxy – Click here to bet

Chippa United are currently sitting 13th on the log with 1 win in their opening 4 matches. They face a TS Galaxy side that is sitting 2nd on the table with 2 wins and 2 draws from their opening 4 games. Chippa United’s only other home game was a 3-1 loss to Royal AM and on the road Galaxy have drawn 0-0 with Arrows and beaten Sundowns 1-0.

TS Galaxy did the double over Chippa United last season and they look over priced to me at 5/2 to win this one.

Suggested Bet: Galaxy win at 5/2

 

Orlando Pirates v Marumo Gallants – Click here to bet

Pirates are 3rd on the table and are coming off a goalless draw away at SuperSport United last time out. All 5 of their matches have had 2 goals or less in them. Marumo Gallants are sitting 11th on the table with 4 successive draws to start the season.

I am finding this a tough game to call and will go with the correct score play.

Suggested Bet: Correct Score 1-0 Pirates at 3/1

 

Royal Am v Maritzburg United – Click here to bet

Royal Am opened their campaign with 2 victories, but they have only got 1 point from the next 9 they have played for and they face a Maritzburg United side that have only lost once this season and got their first win beating Chippa United 2-1 last time out.

Royal AM are a tough nut to crack at home and I am backing them to get 3 points here.

Suggested Bet: Royal AM win at 29/20
