There are 7 DSTV Premiership matches taking place on Saturday and we select 3 of them to have a bet in.
BAROKA v SUPERSPORT UNITED
Baroka are bottom of the table, 2 points behind Swallows who sit above them in the playoff position and 4 points behind TS Galaxy who are safe for the time being.
Last time out they drew 2-2 on the road with Chippa and their last home game was a 1-0 victory over Arrows. Their home form hasn’t been too bad this season and they have won 5 and drawn 4 of their 14 matches.
SuperSport are battling hard to stay in the Top 8 and while they are undefeated in their last 5 games, 4 of those matches have ended in draws. Last time out they drew 2-2 at home to Swallows and their last away game was a goalless draw at Marumo Gallants. They have only won 3 times in 14 attempts on the road this season, drawing 50% of their matches on their travels.
Baroka home games have been very low scoring averaging 1.1 goals each and unbelievably none of the 14 matches would have delivered you a profit had you been backing over 2.5 goals. SuperSport United away games have averaged 1.9 goals each with 6 of the 14 matches reaching the 3 goal mark.
SuperSport United won the reverse fixture 2-0 at home.

Baroka 2/1
Draw 21/10
SuperSport United 15/10
Suggested Bet: Baroka win at 2/1
Baroka are fighting for their lives and their home form has been solid and I am backing them to get 3 points that will give them hope in the title race.
CAPE TOWN CITY v AMAZULU
Cape Town City are the form team in the League and are currently 2nd well behind Sundowns, but without a defeat in their last 10 matches. Last time out they beat TS Galaxy 2-0 at home and overall they have won 8, drawn 5 and lost only 1 of their home matches this season.
AmaZulu got their season off to a slow start, but they are also in good form and have won 3 and drawn 2 of their last 5 to sit 7th on the log. Last time out they drew 0-0 at home to Sekhukhune and their last away game was a 1-0 victory at Swallows. There have only been 3 goals in total in AmaZulu’s last 5 matches and they have scored all 3 of those.
AmaZulu beat Cape Town City 2-0 at home earlier this season.

Cape Town City 10/11
Draw 22/10
AmaZulu 7/2
Suggested Bet: Cape Town City win at 10/11
I am sticking with Cape Town City who have been very good to me in recent weeks and I fancy them to win what will probably be a low scoring encounter.
SWALLOWS v CHIPPA UNITED
Swallows are deep in the relegation battle in 15th place, 4 points behind Chippa United who sit in 13th with both teams only having two matches to play.
Swallows are coming off a 2-2 away draw against SuperSport, but their last home game was a 1-0 loss to AmaZulu. Overall at home this season they have only won twice in 14 attempts, drawing 5 and losing 7 and they have lost 3 of their last 4.
Chippa United are undefeated in their last 5, but 4 of those have been draws, most recently 2-2 at home to Baroka. Their last away game was a goalless draw at Pirates and overall on the road they have won 4 and drawn 4 of their 14 fixtures.
These sides played to a goalless draw at Chippa United earlier in the season and both matches last season were drawn.

Swallows 5/4
Draw 2/1
Chippa United 28/10
Suggested Bet: The draw at 2/1
Head-to-head action between the sides suggests the draw is good value at 2/1 with the draw pretty much good enough to ensure Chippa United’s safety I make it an even bigger runner.
