There are 2 DSTV Premiership matches taking place on Wednesday and we take a look at each of them from a betting angle.
KAIZER CHIEFS v AMAZULU
Chiefs are still battling this season and while they have climbed to 9th on the table they have only taken 2 points from the last 9 they have played for in the League. Last time out they lost 2-1 away to Orlando Pirates. Kaizer Chiefs have played 7 matches at home this season with 1 win, 4 draws and 2 losses. Those 7 matches have averaged 2.3 goals each and had you been backing over 2.5 goals you would only have collected in 3 of the 7 games.
AmaZulu are 7th on the table and are on a good run, undefeated in their last 6 matches with 3 wins and 3 draws. Last time out they played a goalless draw away at Swallows and while they have only won once on the road they are undefeated in their last 5 away games. Only 1 of AmaZulu’s 7 away matches would have seen you collect had you been on over 2.5 goals.

Kaizer Chiefs 23/20
Draw 22/10
AmaZulu 27/10
Suggested Bet: Handicap, AmaZulu (+1) at 8/10
The away team has a great record in this fixture and the way Chiefs are playing at the moment I think AmaZulu can push them all the way and perhaps grab a win.
MAMELODI SUNDOWNS v BAROKA
Sundowns are top of the table, 2 points ahead of SuperSport United and with a game in hand. They broke a run of 3 successive draws with back-to-back wins over Black Leopards away and Chippa United at home. Their home record reads played 8, won 5 and drawn 3 and they have only conceded 4 goals in those 8 matches, 6 of which have had 2 goals or less in them.
Baroka made a strong start to the season, but they have slipped to 10th on the table and have only taken 2 points from the last 9 they have played for. Last time out they drew 1-1 at home with Cape Town City and prior to that 1-1 on the road at Kaizer Chiefs. They have won 2 out of 7 matches away from home and those games have averaged 2.9 goals with 3 of the 7 reaching 3 goals or more.

Mamelodi Sundowns 5/10
Draw 3/1
Baroka 13/2
Suggested Bet: Mamelodi Sundowns clean sheet, YES, at 8/10
Sundowns defence has been excellent this season and I fancy them to keep Baroka out for the 90 minutes.
