Sekhukhune 38/10 Draw 22/10 Orlando Pirates 8/10

 

Sekhukhune are going well enough having won half of their 14 matches, drawing another 3 and losing 4. Their last 2 results comprise of a 1-0 defeat at Chiefs and 1-1 draw at home to Stellenbosch but prior to that they had won 4 of the previous 5.

 

Pirates are 6 points behind league leaders Sundowns but they do have a game in hand and the top 2 will meet at the weekend. They come into this game on the back of a 1-0 win over Chiefs in last weekend's derby, a tenth league win of the season alongside 2 defeats and they have yet to draw. Those 2 defeats came at home to Stellenbosch and away to Cape Town City, both by a 1-0 scoreline.

 

The Verdict:

 

Sekhukhune are no mugs so Pirates will have to be on their game here on the back of an energy sapping derby and prior to the showdown with Sundowns. The home side have found the net in 11 of 14 league matches and whilst I am swerving the match result, I give them a shout of contributing to the scoring here.

 

Bets: Both teams to score? (yes) at 13/10 with Betway

 

 

Supersport 44/10 Draw 2.45/1 Sundowns 13/20

 

Supersport have 16 points from 15 matches and recent league form is poor. Since drawing 1-1 at home to Stellenbosch in late December they have lost 3 consecutive league games, at home to Sekhukhune (3-0) and Polokwane (1-0) and most recently away to Amazulu (2-1).

 

Downs put Golden Arrows away 4-0 in last weekend's home fixture to keep the gap to the Bucs at 6 points. They have won 12 and lost just the 1 of their league matches and the sole defeat came at Polokwane back in late October. Since then they have won all 8 league matches, conceding just the 1 goal in the process.

 

The Verdict:

 

Downs won the first league meeting this season 2-0 back in September and I fancy they can score 2 or more here.

 

Bets: Sundowns total goals over 1.5 at even money with Betway
