Local fans have Friday night PSL action to look forward to and we take a look at the game between Maritzburg and Stellenbosch and suggest a bet.
Maritzburg United are in all sorts of trouble with only 1 point from their opening 7 matches and they trail second from bottom, Black Leopards by 4 points. Their last match was a 2-0 defeat to Swallows and in their 3 home games this season they have drawn 1 and lost 2 scoring 2 goals and conceding 4. 3 of the 7 Maritzburg United matches would have delivered for over 2.5 goal backers this season.
Stellenbosch have been hit and miss in recent weeks and they have had 3 losses and 2 wins in their last 5 and currently sit 9th on the table on 8 points from their 7 matches. Last time out they were beaten 2-1 at home by Cape Town City and a closer look at their away record shows they have played 4 won 1, drawn 1 and lost 2. Stellenbosch away games have averaged 1.8 goals each and they have scored 2 and conceded 5 in the 4 matches. If you were backing over 2.5 goals in Stellenbosch matches this season you would have only collected in 2 of the 7 games.
Maritzburg United won this fixture 3-0 last season.

Maritzburg United 37/20
Draw 37/20
Stellenbosch 7/4
Suggested Bet: Maritzburg win at 37/20
While results haven’t gone Maritzburg’ s way of late, they are showing signs of improving and I was particularly impressed with the 1-1 home draw against Sundowns in their penultimate match. Their first win has to come some time and I have the feeling it will be against Stellenbosch.
