BettingDiaryThere are 2 DSTV Premiership matches taking place on Saturday and we suggest a bet in each.

 

 

 

 

MAMELODI SUNDOWNS v ORLANDO PIRATES

What a clash to get the New Year going as top of the table Sundowns host 5th place Orlando Pirates.

Sundowns have had 5 wins and 3 draws in their opening 8 games although 2 of those draws have come in their last 3 fixtures including a 1-1 away draw at Golden Arrows last time out. Sundowns have won 3 and drawn 1 of their 4 home fixtures, but they have won the last 3 in succession. Sundowns home games have averaged 3 goals each and they have scored 9 and conceded just 3.

Orlando Pirates are also undefeated having played a game less than Sundowns and they have had 4 draws and 3 victories. Last time out they edged Chippa United 1-0 at home and on the road they have won 1 and drawn 2 with their away matches averaging 2.3 goals each and 1 of the 3 matches would have delivered had you been backing over 2.5 goals. 3 of the last 4 PSL matches have finished goalless including the last 2 meetings hosted by Sundowns.

Mamelodi Sundowns 19/20

Draw 21/10

Orlando Pirates 34/10

Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals at 27/20

This is not a bet supported by the head to head stats but having watched a fair bit of both sides this season I just have a feeling we will see goals.

 

 

 

MARITZBURG UNITED v BLOEM CELTIC

Maritzburg United are bottom of the table and they are still looking for their first win after 8 matches. They have drawn 2 of their last 3 though at home to Stellenbosch and at home to Mamelodi Sundowns. Maritzburg United home games have averaged 2.5 goals each and 2 of the 4 games have delivered for over 2.5 goal backers.

Bloem Celtic are 10th on the log and have taken 7 points from the last 9 they have played for. Most recently they drew 1-1 away at Kaizer Chiefs and prior to that had 2 home victories over Baroka and Black Leopards. They have yet to win on the road in 3 attempts and their away games have averaged 3 goals each with 1 of the 3 matches delivering for over 2.5 goal backers.

This fixture finished 2-2 last season.

Maritzburg United 14/10

Draw 37/10

Bloem Celtic 12/5

Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals at 31/20

I am basing this one on recent history between the sides with the last 4 meetings in all competitions having had 3 goals or more in them.
