BettingDiaryThere are 5 DSTV Premiership matches taking place on Saturday and we suggest a bet in each.

 

 

 

 

BAROKA v MAMELODI SUNDOWNS

Baroka are 8th on the table, but without a win in their last 3 matches. They are coming off a 2-2 away draw at Galaxy and over 2.5 goal backers would have collected in 3 of the last 4 Baroka matches.

Mamelodi Sundowns are top of the table on goal difference over Swallows and they have yet to lose in their opening 9 matches of the season. Their last action was a 1-0 home win over Orlando Pirates and they have played 4 matches on the road winning 2 and drawing 2.

Baroka and Sundowns drew this fixture 0-0 last season and Baroka won the reverse match 1-0.

Baroka 21/10

Draw 22/10

Mamelodi Sundowns 27/20

Suggested Bet: Sundowns win at 27/20

Baroka will be no pushovers, but I cannot resist this price about the log leaders and defending Champions.

TS GALAXY v SUPERSPORT UNITED

Galaxy are 11th on the table, but without a win in their last 7 matches. They drew 2-2 at home with Baroka last time out and at home this season they have won just once in 4 attempts.

SuperSport United are 3rd on the table and are coming off a 2-2 draw at home to Chippa United. Their last 5 matches in the League would have delivered for over 2.5 goal backers and have seen both teams find the back of the net.

TS Galaxy 12/5

Draw 41/20

SuperSport United 13/10

Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals at 29/20

Given SuperSport United’s matches have had plenty of goals of late this looks like good value.

GOLDEN ARROWS v CHIPPA UNITED

Golden Arrows are 6th on the table and have yet to taste defeat in their 8 matches they have played this season. They have had 6 draws though most recently 1-1 at home to Mamelodi Sundowns.

Chippa United are 14th on the table with just 1 win in their 9 matches. Their last outing was a 2-2 draw away at SuperSport and they have only taken 2 points out of the last 18 they have played for. Chippa have yet to win on the road and this will be their 7th away match in 10 starts.

Arrows 21/20

Draw 41/20

Chippa 61/20

Suggested Bet: The draw at 41/20

With the draw arriving in 75% of Arrows matches this season the price looks right.

KAIZER CHIEFS v MARITZBURG UNITED

Kaizer Chiefs may be going well in Africa, but they are struggling in the League sitting 13th on the log with just 1 win in their opening 8 matches. Their most recent League game was a 1-1 draw against Bloem Celtic at home last year and they haven't won in their last 6 PSL matches.

Maritzburg United are sitting one from bottom of the table having finally bagged their 1st win of the season in their last start, 2-1 at home to Bloem Celtic. They have played 4 matches on the road losing all 4 and conceding 4 goals for every 1 they have scored.

Maritzburg United won this fixture 2-1 last season.

Chiefs 17/20

Draw 43/20

Maritzburg United 38/10

Suggested Bet: Kaizer Chiefs win at 17/20

Kaizer Chiefs need to get their League campaign going and I fancy them to do so against a Maritzburg side that struggles on their travels.

TSHAKHUMA v CAPE TOWN CITY

Tshakhuma are 12th on the table with just 1 win in their opening 8 matches, but they have had 5 draws. Their most recent action was a 2-0 defeat at Stellenbosch and that broke a run of 3 straight draws.

Cape Town City are 4th on the table and they lost their 2nd match of the season when they went down 3-2 away at Swallows in midweek. Cape Town City matches have been high scoring by PSL standards and their matches have averaged 3.3 goals each with the last 4 games delivering for over 2.5 goal backers.

Tshakhuma 2/1

Draw 41/20

Cape Town City 15/10

Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals at 27/20

Once again I am taking this bet because the price seems right given the amount of goals in recent Cape Town City games.
