SATURDAY
MAMELODI SUNDOWNS v KAIZER CHIEFS – Click here to bet
Sundowns beat Swallows 1-0 at home in their a quarter-final clash and they were then away to Kaizer Chiefs in the first leg of their semi-final where they drew 1-1 thanks to a 93rd minute equaliser.
Sundowns are flying in the Premier Soccer League having won all 7 of their matches to date including a hard fought 1-0 victory away at Orlando Pirates on Wednesday night.
Chiefs beat Cape Town City 2-1 on the road before the 1-1 draw at home to Sundowns at a price of 23/10. Kaizer Chiefs suffered a 1-0 defeat to SuperSport United in midweek and they currently sit 8th on the PSL log a distant 13 points behind Sundowns after just 7 games.
Sundowns have won their last 3 home games against Kaizer Chiefs.
Chiefs will be determined to get to the final, but Mamelodi Sundowns look far superior to any other South African team and I am backing them to get the win in 90 minutes.
Suggested Bet: Mamelodi Sundowns win at 5/6

SUNDAY
ORLANDO PIRATES v STELLENBOSCH – Click here to bet
Pirates were convincing winners in their last 8 clash at home to Sekhukhune winning 5-0. They were then away to Stellenbosch in their semi-final first leg where they justified even money favouritism to win 2-1 thanks to a 94th minute winner which saw them come back from a goal down.
Pirates are currently 11th on the PSL log, but they do have two games in hand over most of the teams above them and in midweek they fought hard before going down 1-0 at home to Mamelodi Sundowns
Stellenbosch required extra time to beat SuperSport United 1-0 on the road in their last 8 encounter before that disappointing home defeat to Orlando Pirates in the first leg.
Stellenbosch are currently sitting 12th on the log with just 7 points from 7 matches in the PSL, they have only taken 1 point from the last 12 they have played for.
Stellenbosch beat Pirates 1-0 at home in the Premier League earlier this season, but the last time Pirates hosted Stellenbosch they won 4-1, a League clash last season.
I am tempted by the 15/20 Orlando Pirates to win the game, but I think with Stellenbosch having to push forward we are going to get goals in this game and I am going to bet we get 3 or more.
Suggested bet: Over 2.5 goals if priced at 13/10 of higher
