There are 2 DSTV Premiership matches taking place on Sunday and we take a look at each of them from a betting angle.
BAROKA v CAPE TOWN CITY
Baroka are 8th on the table, but are battling a bit at the moment with only 1 win in their last 8 matches. Last time out they drew 1-1 at Chiefs and their last home game was a 2-0 defeat to AmaZulu. They have won 2 from 7 home matches this season and Baroka’s matches have averaged 2.6 goals with 6 of their 14 games, home and away, delivering for 2.5 goal backers.
Cape Town City are 4th on the log and are coming off successive victories at home to Arrows and away at Black Leopards. Cape Town City games have comfortably the highest average number of goals in the Division with 3.5 goals per game. 8 of their 13 matches would have seen you collect a profit had you been betting on over 2.5 goals. 8 of City’s last 10 matches have had 3 goals or more in them and 9 of those 10 games has seen both teams find the back of the net.

Baroka 22/10
Draw 23/10
Cape Town City 5/4
Suggested Bet: Both teams to score, YES, at 8/10
Bookmakers have picked up on the trend of both teams scoring in Cape Town City matches, but 8/10 looks a decent price given the stats.
MAMELODI SUNDOWNS v CHIPPA UNITED
Sundowns are top of the table and have yet to lose in the League this season with 8 wins and 6 draws in their 14 matches. Last time out they beat Black Leopards 2-1 on the road. Their last 2 home games though finished in draws against Swallows and Celtic. Sundowns home games have averaged 2.1 goals each with under 2.5 goal backers collecting in their last 4 home matches.
Chippa United have climbed to 11th on the table with 2 wins and a draw in their last 3 starts. Last time out they also beat Black Leopards on the road 3-0. Prior to that they held Swallows to a 1-1 draw away from home. Chippa United have played 10 away games averaging 2.3 goals each with 40% of those matches reaching the magical 3 goal mark for over 2.5 goal punters.

Sundowns 9/20
Draw 63/20
Chippa 27/4
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Sundowns (-1) at 13/10
Chippa have been forced to play their matches on the road and they have been on a good run, but I think it ends against a Sundowns team that packs a lot of class and won this fixture 3-0 last season.
