There are 3 DSTV Premiership fixtures taking place on Saturday and we suggest a bet in each.

CAPE TOWN CITY v STELLENBOSCH

Cape Town City’s form has slumped quite badly in recent weeks and they have now gone 5 games without a win, drawing 3 and losing 2. Last time out they played a goalless draw away at Chippa United and the trend of Cape Town City games being high scoring has ended of late. That being said Cape Town City home games are comfortably the highest scoring in the Division averaging 3.8 goals each with 5 of the 8 matches reaching 3 goals or more.

Stellenbosch are 13^th on the table with 3 just wins in 16 starts and they haven't won in their last 7 matches, losing 4 and drawing 3. They have lost 3 on the trot and last time out going down 1-0 away at Tshakhuma and they have only won once on the road in 8 attempts this season.

Cape Town City 8/10

Draw 12/5

Stellenbosch 38/10

Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals at 23/20

I am going to give Cape Town City another chance on the overs market given the high number of goals in their home matches to date.

BLOEMFONTEIN CELTIC v MARITZBURG UNITED

Bloem Celtic are 11^th on the table, but have only taken 1 point from the last 9 they have played for. Their last 3 games have all had 2 goals or less in them. They have only lost once at home this season in 9 matches, but 4 of those games have been draws. Celtic’s home games have averaged just 1.8 goals each and only 1 of those 9 matches has delivered profits for over 2.5 goal backers.

Maritzburg United are 2^nd from bottom of the table, but got a much needed win at home to Black Leopards last time out, that broke a run of 4 successive losses. They have only won once in 7 attempts on the road this season and in those 7 games they have only scored 5 goals and conceded 10.

Bloem Celtic 15/10

Draw 39/20

Maritzburg United 21/10

Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals at 16/10

I simply couldn’t resist this bet at the price after I had looked at the head-to-head stats and seen that the last 5 matches between these sides in all competitions have had 3 goals or more in them and in fact that extends to 7 of the last 8 meetings.

CHIPPA UNITED v ORLANDO PIRATES

Chippa United are 12^th on the table and are coming off 3 successive draws, most recently 0-0 at home to Cape Town City. They have only played 5 home matches this season and have won 1 of those and drawn 3 and they have drawn their last 3 home games in succession. Goals have been hard to come by in Chippa United home games and they average just 1.8 goals each with only 1 of the 5 reaching 3 goals.

Orlando Pirates are 3^rd on the table and have taken 7 points from the last 9 they have played for. Last time out they beat Bloem Celtic 1-0 at home and they have only lost 1 of their last 8 matches. Pirate’s away games have also been low scoring averaging just 2 goals each and had you been an under 2.5 goal backer you would have collected profits in 7 of 9 matches.

Chippa United 77/20

Draw 41/20

Orlando Pirates 9/10

Suggested Bet: Pirates win at 9/10

Pirates are playing some decent football, but it is the head-to-head record between these sides that particularly attracts me to this bet. Pirates have won their last 9 in a row against Chippa United in the League
