BettingDiaryThere are 2 DSTV Premiership matches taking place on Wednesday and we take a look at each of them from a betting angle.

 

 

 

 

GOLDEN ARROWS v TS GALAXY

Golden Arrows sit 3rd on the log at the time of writing this preview, but they are on a poor run with 2 draws and 2 losses in their last 4 games. They have also drawn nearly 50% of their matches this season. Their last game was a 3-2 defeat away at Maritzburg United and their last home match a 1-0 defeat against Amazulu. That match against Maritzburg United broke a run of 7 matches where under 2.5 goal backers would have collected profits.

TS Galaxy go into the midweek fixtures 8th on the table with 3 losses and 2 victories in their last 5. Last time out they went down 1-0 at home to Mamelodi Sundowns, but prior to that did beat Cape Town City by the same score line also at home. TS Galaxy’s last 3 PSL matches have all had exactly 1 goal in them.

These sides played to a 1-1 draw at TS Galaxy earlier in the season.

Golden Arrows 12/10

Draw 2/1

TS Galaxy 29/10

Suggested Bet: Correct Score 1-1 at 9/2

I think this could be a tight encounter which will end with Galaxy snatching a valuable point in their race to finish in the Top 8.

The draw is priced at 2/1, but I am going for the more speculative option of the 1-1 draw.

CAPE TOWN CITY v MARITZBURG UNITED

Cape Town City are 7th on the log and after a 3 match winning streak have taken just 1 point from their last 9 and that came in a goalless draw away at Bloem Celtic last time out. Their home games remain comfortably the highest scoring in the Division, averaging 3.5 goals each with 9 of the 13 matches making you a profit had you backed over 2.5 goals and 4 of their last 5 home games have delivered for overs backers.

Maritzburg United are 12th on the log and are probably 1 victory away from guaranteeing their participation in next year’s PSL. They lost 1-0 away at Tshakhuma last time out and have only won 3 times on the road this season in 13 attempts. Maritzburg away matches have been low scoring, averaging 1.9 goals each and only 3 of the 13 games have reached the 3 goal mark.

Cape Town City won the reverse fixture 1-0 and this match was drawn 1-1 last season.

Cape Town City 23/20

Draw 22/10

Maritzburg United 28/10

Suggested Bet: Maritzburg United win at 28/10

I am going for the underdog here because Cape Town City have been so inconsistent of late and I think a desperate Maritzburg side can cause an upset.

If you are looking at the goals markets, over 2.5 goals is a tempting 12/10.
