The DSTV Premiership is back after a short break and we take a look at the 3 games taking place on Saturday from a betting angle.
SWALLOWS v GOLDEN ARROWS
Swallows have only lost once this season, but they have slipped down the table due to their inability to win matches, they have drawn 7 and lost 1 of their last 8. Most recently they drew 2-2 away at Chippa United and both teams have found the back of the net in the last 4 Swallows PSL matches.
Swallows have yet to lose at home this season, but their home matches are the lowest scoring of the
Division, averaging just 1.6 goals each with only 1 of the 8 matches delivering profits for over 2.5 goal backers.
Golden Arrows are 2nd on the log, 4 points behind Sundowns, but having played 2 games more. Their last action was a 1-1 draw at home to Cape Town City and both teams have found the back of the net in 5 out of the last 6 Golden Arrows matches.
Arrows have only lost once on the road this season and they have won their last 3 away games and their away games this season have averaged 2.8 goals each with 4 of the 9 matches seeing 3 goals or more scored.

Swallows 16/10
Draw 2/1
Arrows 2/1
Suggested Bet: Both teams to score, YES, at 11/10
This has been a bet which would have landed regularly for you in games played by both of these teams recently.
CAPE TOWN CITY v BAROKA
Cape Town City are 7th on the log, but they are without a win in their last 7 matches. Last time out they drew 1-1 away at Golden Arrows and their last home game was a 2-1 defeat to Stellenbosch. 6 of Cape Town City’s 9 home matches have had 3 goals or more in them and their home matches averaged 3.7 goals each, a full goal higher than the next team in the League.
Baroka are 11th on the table and have taken 2 points from the last 9 they have played for. Last time out they drew 1-1 at home with Bloem Celtic and their last away game was a goalless draw with Golden Arrows. Baroka’s last 3 away matches have delivered profits for under 2.5 goal backers.

Cape Town City 23/20
Draw 9/4
Baroka 26/10
Suggested Bet: Cape Town City win at 23/20
I had a good look at the goals markets here, but I think we may get over 2.5 goals and the 11/10 was tempting, but in the end I think Cape Town City to win the game are the better value.
MARITZBURG UNITED v CHIPPA UNITED
Maritzburg United are 14th on the log and are unbeaten in their last 4 matches, most recently beating Galaxy 2-0 away. They face Chippa United who sit level with them on points, but have played a game more and Chippa are on a bad run which has seen them draw 4 and lose 3 of their last 7 games. Last time out they drew 2-2 at home to Swallows. Their last away game was way back in Mid-Feb when they drew 1-1 with Bloem Celtic.
Chippa United won the reverse fixture 3-1 at home.

Maritzburg United 15/10
Draw 21/10
Chippa United 2/1
Suggested Bet: Maritzburg United win at 15/10
Chippa may well have had a chance to regroup following the break, but the form they were in before the Internationals started was poor and I think Maritzburg United can grab all 3 points here, something they did in last year’s home match.
