There are 2 PSL matches taking place on Sunday and we take a look at each of them from a betting angle.
BLACK LEOPARDS v MARITZBURG UNITED – Click here to bet
Black Leopards currently sit bottom on the table, 3 points behind AmaZulu who sit above them. They lost 4 matches on the trot leading into the COVID-19 break and have only won 1 of their last 10 matches in the PSL. Leopards matches have averaged 2.4 goals this season with 50% of the matches reaching 3 goals or more.
Maritzburg United are 6th on the table at the time of writing and they won their last 4 matches heading into the break. Two of those wins were particularly impressive as they were away to Kaizer Chiefs and Bidvest Wits. They have only lost 1 of their last 10 matches. Maritzburg United matches have been lower scoring just 1.7 goals each with only 7 of the 24 matches delivering for over 2.5 goal backers.
Leopards beat Maritzburg United 1-0 earlier in the season.
Betting:
Black Leopards 5/1
Draw 11/4
Maritzburg United 6/10
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Leopards (+1), the draw 23/10
For this bet to arrive Maritzburg need to win by exactly 1 goal and they are not a side that usually puts things away, winning 3 of their last 4 victories by 1 goal exactly.
SUPERSPORT UNITED v BLOEM CELTIC – Click here to bet
SuperSport United go into the weekend 4th on the table, 9 points behind leaders, Chiefs and having played a game more. They were in good nick before the enforced break, beating Highlands on the road and Bidvest Wits at home both by 2-0 and a stat that jumps out on SuperSport’s recent matches is that both teams to score, NO, would have arrived on each occasion. SuperSport games have averaged 2.3 goals each with a third of them delivering for over 2.5 goal backers, but their last 4 games having delivered for under 2.5 goal backers.
Bloem Celtic are 10th on the table and they have only won 1 of their last 6 PSL encounters. They were in action in the Nedbank Cup Semi-Finals last weekend beating Baroka 3-0. Bloem Celtic matches have been the highest scoring in the League averaging 2.9 goals each with 13 of the 23 games having 3 goals or more in them.
These sides drew earlier in the season 1-1 at Bloem Celtic.
Betting:
SuperSport United 7/10
Draw 51/20
Bloem Celtic 17/4
Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals at 11/10
It is not often that I go over 2.5 goals in the PSL, but these sides are amongst the highest scoring and Celtic showed last week against Baroka that they are sharp in front of goal.
