BettingDiaryThere is Friday evening PSL action for punters to sink their teeth into and this game features 13th placed Maritzburg United against 8th placed Baroka and we have a look at the match from a betting angle.

 

 

 

 

Maritzburg United are not quite out of relegation danger and they saw a 2 match winning run ended when they lost 2-0 away to Orlando Pirates last time out. Their last away game was probably the performance of the season, a 5-1 hammering of Chippa United.

Overall at home they have won 3 and drawn 3 of their 11 games and 2 of those wins have come in their last 3 home matches. Maritzburg home games have averaged 2.5 goals each and 5 of the 11 games have reached the 3 goal mark to ensure profits for over 2.5 goal backers.

Baroka have been in pretty good form of late and are undefeated in their last 4 matches although they got their first victory in 6 games last time out, away at Chippa United. Prior to that Baroka got a late equaliser to draw 1-1 at home with Chiefs. Looking at their form on the road, Baroka have won 3 and drawn 5 out of 11 matches and have only lost 1 of their last 5 away from home.

If you were backing over 2.5 goals in all of Baroka’s away games you would be in some financial trouble as only 3 of the 11 games have reached 3 goals or more and their last 5 have all delivered for under 2.5 goal backers.

Baroka won the reverse fixture 2-1 at home and last season it was Maritzburg who came out on top 1-0 in this match.

Maritzburg United 14/10

Draw 21/10

Baroka 22/10

Suggested Bet: The draw a 21/10

There is seldom much between these sides with no more than a goal separating them in their last 5 League matches. Maritzburg have certainly shown some improved form at home, but Baroka have looked solid enough on the road and I think they can take a point out of this one.

A quick look at some of the other popular markets sees Both Teams to Score trading at even money and you can get Over 2.5 Goals at slightly tempting 13/10.

If I was to take a Correct Score punt on this game I probably would be looking at the 1-1 draw currently the ruling favourite at 9/2
