We take a look at 3 of the DSTV Premiership fixtures taking place over the weekend and if you are wondering where the big Soweto Derby is, that is covered in its own preview.
STELLENBOSCH v SUPERSPORT UNITED
Let’s start with Friday evenings game which puts 9th placed Stellenbosch against 4th placed SuperSport.
Stellenbosch are coming off a 2-1 defeat to Sundowns at home, prior to that they beat Baroka and Cape Town City on the road. Over 2.5 goal backers would have collected in 5 out of the last 6 Stellenbosch matches.
SuperSport are without a win in their last 4 starts, drawing 3 and losing 1, last time out they played a goalless draw at home to Galaxy and their last away game was a 1-0 defeat to AmaZulu. Under 2.5 goal backers would have been in the money in the last 4 SuperSport fixtures.

Stellenbosch 26/10
Draw 22/10
SuperSport United 23/20
Suggested Bet: Stellenbosch win at 26/10
Stellenbosch are playing some good football and they run into a SuperSport side that is struggling. They won this fixture last season and I think they are a tempting price to do so again.
GOLDEN ARROWS v CAPE TOWN CITY
One of 2 Saturday matches features 2nd placed Golden Arrows up against 8th placed Cape Town City. Arrows have only lost twice in 19 starts in the League this season and they are coming off back-to-back victories away at Tshakhuma and Black Leopards. Their last 2 home games have been a draw at Baroka and a defeat to Black Leopards.
Cape Town City are tumbling down the table and have only taken 3 points from their last 6 matches with 3 losses and 3 draws. They were beaten 2-1 at home by Stellenbosch last time out and their last away game was a goalless draw.
Earlier in the season, Cape Town City matches were almost bankers for over 2.5 goals and both teams to score, but that has been less so in recent weeks although both teams have found the net in 3 of their last 4 matches and in 6 of their last 7.

Golden Arrows 11/10
Draw 23/10
Cape Town City 26/10
Suggested Bet: Both teams to score, YES, at 19/20
I am going to go with the bet that has been successful in Cape Town City matches, but would also have arrived in the last 3 PSL meetings between the sides.
TS GALAXY v MARITZBURG UNITED
TS Galaxy sit 7th on the table and are undefeated in their last 8 starts. They are coming off a 3-1 home win over Black Leopards and have won their last 3 home games.
They face a Maritzburg United side that is in decent form and hasn't lost in their last 3 with back-to-back 1-0 draws at home to Chiefs and away at Bloem Celtic. They currently sit 15th on the log and very much in the heart of the relegation battle.

TS Galaxy 9/10
Draw 12/5
Maritzburg United 33/10
Suggested Bet: Galaxy win at 9/10
On form Galaxy have to be the pick here especially when you consider they met early in the season in Maritzburg and Galaxy won that one 3-0.
