There are two PSL matches taking place on Saturday and we suggest a bet in each.
POLOKWANE CITY v HIGHLANDS PARK – Click here to bet
Polokwane City are rooted to the bottom of the table after 3 successive defeats, 2 of which have come since play resumed after the COVID-19 break. They lost 3-2 to Chiefs and 2-0 to SuperSport United. Polokwane’s matches this season have averaged 2.3 goals each with 8 of the 26 games reaching 3 goals or more.
Highlands have not won in their last 5 matches with 4 draws and a loss and since the resumption have drawn two to Sundowns and Chippa United. They have averaged 2.3 goals a game and 9 of their 26 matches delivering for over 2.3 goal backers.
Highlands beat Polokwane 2-0 earlier this season
Betting
Polokwane 7/4
Draw 43/20
Highlands 16/10
Suggested Bet: The draw at 43/20
Bookmakers are struggling to separate these sides and I agree with the assessment. Polokwane City will be desperate for points and Highlands have made a habit of playing out to draws.
BAROKA v CHIPPA UNITED – Click here to bet
This match sees 13th placed Baroka playing 12th placed Chippa and both sides are still very much in danger of being relegated. Baroka have had two draws since play resumed against Orlando Pirates and AmaZulu. Their games have averaged just 1.5 goals each this season with 21 of the 26 games having 2 goals or less in them.
Chippa United have lost to Cape Town City and drawn to Highlands since play resumed and they have still to score a goal and their last 4 matches have had under 2.5 goals in them with their games averaging, like Baroka, 1.5 goals each.
These sides played to a goalless draw earlier in the season. The last 4 meetings between the sides have delivered for under 2.5 goal backers.
Betting
Baroka 15/10
Draw 39/20
Chippa United 41/20
Suggested Bet: Correct score 0-0 at 19/4
I think if you offered both of these sides a point they would take it and I expect a very defensive encounter with goals like hens teeth.
The draw is also a big runner here and I actually like the double of both games being drawn at a price of 8.2/1.
