There are 4 DSTV Premiership matches taking place on Saturday and we suggest a bet in each of them.
Golden Arrows v Swallows - Click here to bet
Arrows had a disappointing 2022/23 season limping home to finish in 9th place and failing to qualify for the MTN Top 8. They played 15 matches at home winning 5, drawing 5 and losing 5.
Swallows finished 2 points and 1 position above them on the table, finishing the season strongly with 4 wins out of their last 5 matches. Swallows only managed 4 victories on the road in 15 matches.
Four of the last six head-to-head matches have finished all square, but Arrows won this fixture 4-0 last season and I think they can open their account with 3 points.
Suggested Bet: Golden Arrows win at 13/10
SuperSport United v Richards Bay – Click here to bet
SuperSport United finished 3rd on the table, 3 points behind Orlando Pirates in 2nd last season. They had an excellent home record with 10 wins, 5 draws and no losses, conceding just 8 goals in their 15 home games.
Richards Bay started last season strongly sitting 2nd on the table at one stage, but they faded badly to finish 13th narrowly avoiding relegation. Their away record was one of the best in the Division with 5 wins and 4 draws in their 15 matches and they conceded under a goal a game on the road.
This match finished 1-1 last season, but based on their excellent record at home I am going to back SuperSport to take the spoils here.
Suggested Bet: SuperSport win at 7/10
Royal AM v AmaZulu - Click here to bet
Royal AM faded in the second-half of the season to finish 11th on the log and they failed to win any of their last 5 matches. They were tough to beat at home with 6 wins and 4 draws in 15 matches.
Having finished 2nd the season before AmaZulu came down to earth finishing 12th last season winning just 1 of their last 5 matches. On the road they won 2 and drew 8 of 15 matches.
3 of the last 4 matches between these sides have ended in draws and I am struggling to separate them and will bet that both teams get a point out of this one.
Suggested Bet: The draw at 2/1
Stellenbosch v Orlando Pirates - Click here to bet
Stellenbosch finished 6th on the table last season with an equal split of wins, draws and losses across their 30 games. At home they won 7 and drew 4 of 15 matches outscoring their opponents by an average of half a goal per game.
Orlando Pirates had finished the season strong, undefeated in their last 5 matches and they ended up in 2nd place, a distant 16 points behind Champions, Mamelodi Sundowns. Pirates won 8 and drew 2 of their 15 away games conceding just 11 goals on the road.
Pirates are 12/10 for the win which is tempting, but the bet I prefer here is over 2.5 goals at 11/8, a bet which would have arrived in the 3 of the last 4 meetings between the sides.
Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals, YES, at 11/8
