There are 5 PSL fixtures taking place on Saturday and we suggest a bet in each.
BLACK LEOPARDS v SUPERSPORT UNITED
Black Leopards are desperate for victories as they currently sit rock bottom on the table and 5 points clear of safety with 7 games left to play. They have only won 1 of their last 10 matches and last time out drew 0-0 at home to Stellenbosch.
SuperSport United have fallen to 6th on the table after a horror run that has seen them lose 3 and draw 4 of their last 7 matches. Last time out they were beaten 1-0 at home by Golden Arrows and their last away game was a 3-0 loss at Cape Town City.

Black Leopards 3/1
Draw 23/10
SuperSport United 1/1
Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals at 5/4
Black Leopards have no choice, but to go for the victory and I think that could open up opportunities for SuperSport and I am betting we get 3 goals or more in this one.
STELLENBOSCH v BLOEM CELTIC
Stellenbosch are 12th on the table, 2 positions below Bloem Celtic and 1 point behind them having both played 23 matches.
Stellenbosch are without a win in their last 5 and have had 3 draws and 2 losses. Their last away game being a 1-0 loss to AmaZulu. Bloem Celtic on the other hand are undefeated in their last 5 games with 4 draws and a victory and their last match was a 1-1 draw at home to Swallows and 4 of their last 5 matches have finished 1-1 with their last 5 games all seeing both teams find the back of the net.

Stellenbosch 33/20
Draw 37/20
Bloem Celtic 21/10
Suggested Bet: Both teams to score, YES, at 1/1
As mentioned above, this has been a common occurrence in Bloem Celtic matches, but looking at head-to-head matches between the sides it also arrived in their last 3 meetings.
AMAZULU v TS GALAXY
AmaZulu are 3rd on the table and saw their 6 match winning run ended by Sundowns last time out when they drew 0-0 at home. They are the form team in the PSL though and in their last 10 matches have taken 26 points from a possible 30.
They face TS Galaxy who are 9th on the table, but who have lost 3 successive matches most recently going down 2-0 at home to Tshakhuma and their last away game was a 2-1 defeat against Bloemfontein Celtic.
Galaxy won the reverse fixture 1-0 at home.

AmaZulu 19/20
Draw 23/10
TS Galaxy 33/10
Suggested Bet: AmaZulu win at 19/20
Given the form of these 2 sides I am amazed to be getting even money about this bet although I must acknowledge that the PSL has the knack of being quite unpredictable.
CAPE TOWN CITY v TSHAKHUMA
Cape Town City are 7th on the table and they have recovered from a shaky run to draw 2 and win 2 of their last 4 matches.
Their last 2 games have been an away win over Chiefs and a home win over SuperSport United with over 2.5 goals arriving in both of those matches.
Tshakhuma are sitting just outside the relegation zone and had a much needed victory last time out when they won 2-0 at Galaxy which broke a run of 4 matches without a win and 3 successive defeats.
These sides drew 2-2 when Tshakhuma hosted earlier in the season.

Cape Town City 1/1
Draw 23/10
Tshakhuma 3/1
Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals at 12/10
Cape Town City were full of goals earlier in the season, while those have dried up there are signs that they are coming back to life and I expect an action packed game.
SWALLOWS v ORLANDO PIRATES
Swallows are 5th on the table, one position behind Pirates who are a point ahead of them with both sides having played 22 matches.
Swallows has drawn over 50% of their games this season and only been beaten once and last time out they drew 1-1 away at Bloem Celtic.
Pirates are in decent nick with 3 wins and a loss in their last 4 starts and they beat Maritzburg United 2-0 at home in their last game.

Swallows 12/5
Draw 21/10
Orlando Pirates 13/10
Suggested Bet: The draw at 21/10
These sides drew 1-1 when they met earlier in the season and given Swallows propensity for draws you would have to say there is decent value in anything over 2-1.
