There are 2 DSTV Premiership matches taking place on Sunday and we suggest a bet in each of them.
GOLDEN ARROWS v BLOEM CELTIC
Golden Arrows are flying high, currently sitting 2nd on the table, 6 points behind Mamelodi Sundowns, but having played 2 games more. They have only lost twice in 21 starts this season and they are coming off back-to-back 1-1 draws, away at Swallows and at home to Cape Town City.
Both teams have found the back of the net in Arrows last 4 PSL matches and in 6 of their last 7. Arrows have only lost once at home this season, but they are without a win in their last 3 home games.
Bloem Celtic are 11th on the table and have not lost in their last 3 matches beating Galaxy 2-1 at home last time out and prior to that they drew away to Baroka and at home to Maritzburg United. Both teams have also scored in their last 3 PSL matches.
Bloem Celtic have really battled on the road this season and have yet to win in 10 attempts with 3 draws and 7 losses.

Golden Arrows 11/10
Draw 2/1
Bloem Celtic 16/5
Suggested Bet: Arrows win at 11/10
Arrows are playing some great football, but it is Bloem Celtic’s poor away record that swings me to this bet.
Another option I would look at is both teams to score at PRICE TO FOLLOW that is based on both teams recent League form.
SWALLOWS v BLACK LEOPARDS
Swallows have fallen down the table after a very quick start and they are now in 6th position with 12 draws and only 1 defeat in their 20 matches. They have drawn 8 of their last 9 games in the League including last time out at home to Golden Arrows 1-1.
Both teams have managed to find the net in Swallows last 5 League games and in 8 of their last 9. They have yet to lose a match at home and in 9 games have won 4 and drawn 5. They have drawn 4 successive home matches.
Black Leopards are sitting bottom of the table on 13 points after 21 matches. They have only taken 1 point from the last 15 they have played for and last time out lost 1-0 at home to AmaZulu. Their last away game was a credible 1-1 draw at Sundowns and on the road this season they have only won 1 game, drawing 3 and losing 6.

Swallows 9/10
Draw 19/10
Black Leopards 19/4
Suggested Bet: Both teams to score, YES, at 5/4
I considered backing Swallows to break their winning drought, but the bet I prefer here is that both teams find the net something that has a common occurrence in Swallows games and more recently in Leopards matches.
