We take a look at the 2 DSTV Premiership matches taking place on Tuesday and suggest a bet in each.
AMAZULU v BAROKA
AmaZulu have had an excellent season and will finish 2nd after a run of 16 matches undefeated and 12 wins in their last 14 games. Last time out they beat Golden Arrows 1-0 on the road and their last home game was a 2-1 win over Galaxy.
AmaZulu home games have averaged 2.2 goals each and 9 of the 13 matches would have seen you collect a profit had you been backing under 2.5 goals.
Baroka are 10th on the table, but have only won 1 of their last 9 matches. They have had 6 draws in that time though and their last game was a 1-1 draw at SuperSport.
Baroka’s last 6 PSL matches have all had 2 goals or less in them and they are undefeated in their last 5 away matches with 4 draws and a victory. Baroka away games have averaged 2-1 goals each with just 3 of the 13 matches reaching the 3 goal mark.
Head-to-head, AmaZulu beat Baroka 2-0 on the road last time these sides met and that was the 7th consecutive head-to-head match between these sides that had 2 goals or less in it.

AmaZulu 17/20
Draw 21/10
Baroka 9/2
Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals at 29/20
It was a surprising pick given Baroka’s recent form in the head-to-head’s between the sides, but AmaZulu have played in some high scoring matches and with Baroka’s safety basically assured I think this could be an open match.
STELLENBOSCH v ORLANDO PIRATES
Stellenbosch are 12th on the log, but just 1 point clear of 15th placed Chippa United who are in the final relegation spot. They are not in great form and have only taken 4 points from the last 24 they have played for and are coming off back-to-back 1-0 defeats away at Chippa and at home to Maritzburg United.
Their last 5 games have all seen 2 goals or less scored and at home this season they have only won twice in 13 matches.
Orlando Pirates are 4th on the log and are coming off a victory at home to Black Leopards by 3-0. Prior to that they had lost also, at home, to Mamelodi Sundowns by the same margin. Pirates have battled on the road this season with 4 wins, 4 losses and 4 draws and have only won 1 of their last 5. Pirates away matches have averaged 2 goals each with 9 of the 12 games failing to reach 3 goals.
The reverse fixture was drawn 1-1 at Pirates.

Stellenbosch 16/5
Draw 23/10
Orlando Pirates 1/1
Suggested Bet: The draw at 23/10
Pirates have been inconsistent especially on the road and I couldn’t be taking under even money that they win the game. Stellenbosch of the 2 sides have a bit more to play for and I think they can take a valuable point out of this one.
