PSL continues this weekend and we take a look at 3 of the matches from a betting angle.
SATURDAY
SEKHUKHUNE UNITED V SWALLOWS
Sekhukhune are having a good season and currently sit 6th on the log with 8 wins and 4 draws in their 19 starts. Last time out they beat Baroka 4-0 at home and that broke a run of 5 matches without a victory and amazingly those 4 goals broke a run of 5 games without Sekhukhune scoring a goal.
Swallows are 15th on the table just 1 point above bottom placed Baroka and they have only won 2 of their 20 matches this season and they have only had 1 victory in their last 10 games. Last time out they lost 1-0 at home to TS Galaxy and their last away game was a 1-1 draw with Stellenbosch.
Looking at goal stats Sekhukhune home games have averaged 1.6 goals each with only 1 of the 9 matches reaching the 3 goal mark. Swallows away games have been even more low scoring averaging 1.2 goals each with 2 of their 9 games delivering profits for over 2.5 goal backers.
Sekhukhune beat Swallows 1-0 on the road in the reverse fixture.

Sekhukhune 29/20
Draw 15/10
Swallows 26/10
Suggested Bet: Sekhukhune win at 29/20
Swallows haven't looked the same side this season and although Sekhukhune didn’t do particularly well towards the end of 2021 I was super impressed by their last game and they look value to beat Swallows here.
BAROKA v KAIZER CHIEFS
Baroka currently sitting rock bottom of the table with just 3 wins in their 19 starts. Last time out they lost 4-0 away at Sekhukhune and their last home game was a credible 1-1 draw with Sundowns in mid-February.
Kaizer Chiefs are 5th on the table and they have only lost 1 of their last 8 matches. Last time out they played a goalless draw away at Cape Town City and under 2.5 goal backers would have collected profits in Kaizer Chiefs last 4 matches.
Looking at head-to-head form between the sides, Chiefs won the reverse fixture 2-1 earlier this season and perhaps the most interesting stat is that both teams have found the net in the last 4 head-to-head games between the sides.

Baroka 29/10
Draw 37/20
Kaizer Chiefs 11/10
Suggested Bet: Both teams to score, YES, at 12/10
I am basing this one more on head-to-head form than anything else and I am hoping that they make it 5 games in a row with both goal keepers having to pick the ball out of the back of the net.
SUNDAY
SUPERSPORT UNITED v ROYAL AM
SuperSport are currently 8th on the log and they have lost some ground of late with 3 defeats in their last 6 matches. Last time out they lost 2-1 away at Maritzburg, but their last home game was an exciting 3-2 win over Cape Town City. SuperSport have yet to draw a home game with 5 wins and 4 losses and their home games have averaged 2.8 goals each with 6 of the 9 games reaching the 3 goal mark.
Royal Am have been the surprise package of the season and they currently sit 3rd on the log with 8 wins, 6 draws and 5 defeats in their 19 games. Last time out they drew 2-2 away at Chippa and prior to that beat Sekhukhune 1-0 at home. They have only won once on the road in 9 attempts and their away games have averaged 2.6 goals each one of the highest in the Division.
Royal AM won the reverse fixture 2-1 at home.

SuperSport 5/4
Draw 15/8
Royal AM 12/5
Suggested Bet: SuperSport win at 5/4
Despite Royal AM’s lofty position on the table they haven’t performed well on the road and I think that SuperSport can bag the 3 points.
