There is a lone PSL match taking place on Monday night and we take a look at it from a betting angle.
Let’s start with a look at the DSTV Premiership Outright Betting where Mamelodi Sundowns are basically unbackable at 1/100 with Chiefs at 14/1, Pirates at 28/1 and you can get 66/1 and better the balance.

Mamelodi Sundowns are flying high at the top of the table on 44 points, 14 points ahead of their nearest rivals, Orlando Pirates. Their League form before the break was scratchy though with a 1-1 draw at home to Marumo Gallants and a 1-0 defeat to AmaZulu which was their first defeat of the season.
Looking at their home record they have won 9 and drawn 2 of their 11 matches. Mamelodi Sundowns home games are the highest scoring in the division, averaging 2.8 goals each with 6 of the 11 games delivering profits had you backed over 2.5 goals.
Chippa United are down in 12th in the League and they have drawn 3 and won 1 of their last 4 matches. Last time out they drew 0-0 at home to Sekhukhune way back in December and prior to that they beat Maritzburg United 2-0 on the road.
Overall their away form reads played 9, won 3, drawn 1, lost 5 and those away games have averaged 2.3 goals each which doesn’t sound a lot, but is up towards the top of the PSL stats with 4 of the 9 games reaching the 3 goal mark.
These sides played to a goalless draw back at Chippa United in August and last season Mamelodi Sundowns did the double winning this fixture 2-0.

Mamelodi Sundowns 4/11
Draw 7/2
Chippa United 9/1
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Sundowns (-1) at 23/20
For this bet to arrive we need Sundowns to win by more than a goal, something they have done in 3 out of their last 4 home League matches against Chippa United. I am also expecting Sundowns to be the better prepared of the two sides coming out of the break.
