The DSTV Premier League continues on Sunday with 2 matches and we look at them from a betting perspective.
STELLENBOSCH v SWALLOWS – Click here to bet
Stellenbosch finished a respectable 10th on the table last season despite not winning any of their last 4 matches. Stellenbosch’s last 6 matches at the end of the previous PSL season had 2 goals or less in them.
Swallows returned to the top flight for the first time in many years and they will be looking to get off to a strong start. They certainly finished the previous season Championship strong winning their last 5 matches of the season.
These sides both played in the 1st Division in 2018/2019 season and this fixture was drawn 0-0 with Stellenbosch winning of the road 2-0.
Betting
Stellenbosch 33/20
Draw 43/20
Swallows 7/4
Suggested Bet: Correct score 1-1 at 19/4
Speculative play in this match where I expect Swallows to give a good account of themselves, but at the end of the day I am not expecting much between the sides.
TSHAKHUMA v TS GALAXY – Click here to bet
Both of these sides are new to the PSL or are they? Tshakhuma actually bought out the Wits PSL position and so guaranteed themselves top flight status. They were in action last week losing 3-2 at home to SuperSport United in the MTN 8 Cup.
TS Galaxy stormed to fame in the 2019 when they became the first lower league team to win the Nedbank Cup when they beat Kaizer Chiefs 1-0 through a second-half injury time penalty. Like their opponents they couldn’t wait to get into the PSL so they purchased the status of Highlands Park and will now appear in the top flight.
Despite the fact that both these clubs have purchased their position they did meet twice last season in the Gladafrica Championship with the home team winning on each occasion.
Betting:
Tshakhuma 9/10
Draw 37/20
TS Galaxy 17/4
Suggested Bet: No bet
I know too little about these sides and if pushed I would suggest the draw is the runner here although at 37/20 the bookmakers clearly agree.
