GOLDEN ARROWS vs TS GALAXY – Click here to bet
Golden Arrows have been relatively consistent this season, sitting in 5th overall after winning 5, drawing 3 and losing 4 of their matches.
They have been solid at home, winning 2 and drawing 2 of their 6 matches while losing just 2 of them. They went head-to-head with Kaizer Chiefs in their last game played on the 12th which resulted in an upset win of 1-0 away from home.
TS Galaxy have fought hard despite sitting further back on the table, and after picking up 3 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses they are placed in 11th on the standings.
They struggled early in the season, however, with no losses in their last 7 matches they are clearly on a rise in form. They played their most recent clash against Magesi on home soil roughly two weeks ago where the match ended in a 0-0 draw although TS Galaxy were the favourites to take the win.
Head-to-Head
These sides met twice in the league last season, the first match was played in front of an Arrows crowd, however they fell short and lost 2-0. The second match saw TS Galaxy host the Arrows in a high scoring fixture which ended in a 3-1 victory for the home side. Their latest meeting was in the Nedbank Cup 23/24 where TS Galaxy once again came out on top with a 2-1 win.
Verdict
Although Golden Arrows have the advantage of being at home, TS Galaxy’s recent form cannot be ignored, and I think they will come through with a narrow victory.
BET: TS Galaxy win at 2.45

CHIPPA UNITED vs MARUMO GALLANTS – Click here to bet
Chippa have battled to stay on the winning side of things and with their last 6 matches producing mixed results of 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses and they sit back in 12th position on the table.
They have shown good form in front of a home crowd so far, winning 4 matches, drawing 1 and losing just 2 but they will need to sharpen up on attack and defence to grab opportunities and win crucial encounters.
Their latest game scheduled against Royal AM was postponed and prior to that they faced a 1-0 loss to Kaizer Chiefs on the road late last year.
Marumo Gallants have had a poor campaign and they are currently in 14th overall fighting to break their losing form and get away from the relegation zone.
They have lost a staggering 7 matches, with just 4 wins and 2 draws under their belt. Their away form has been terrible, and they have claimed just 1 win, losing the remaining 6 of their fixtures away from home.
They performed well as the underdogs against Cape Town City a few days ago to take a much needed 1-0 win on home ground.
Head-to-Head
The last fixtures these teams have in terms of head-to-head came in the 22/23 league where Chippa won the first match 1-0 at home. The second and most recent match swung the other way with Marumo Gallants dominating and taking home a 3-1 victory.
Verdict
These sides go into this match relatively closely matched but I believe Chippa will win in what will be a low-scoring affair.
BET: Result and Both Teams to Score – Chippa United and No at 3.25
