Orlando Pirates vs Marumo Gallants – click here to bet
Orlando Pirates sit top of the table with 35 points from 15 matches. They have recorded eleven wins, two draws and just two defeats, scoring 22 goals while conceding only 5 to give them the best defensive figures in the tournament.
They have been in excellent form, winning four of their last five league matches with the other game ending in a draw. Their most recent result saw them claim a 2-0 away victory over AmaZulu, while prior to that they comfortably dispatched Magesi by a 2-0 scoreline.
Marumo Gallants occupy 13th position overall with 15 points from 17 matches. They have managed three wins, six draws and suffered eight defeats, finding the back of the net 12 times and letting 21 through their defensive line.
They come into this clash on the back of three consecutive defeats, failing to score in each of those matches against AmaZulu and Kaizer Chiefs at home which ended 1-0 each as well as TS Galaxy where they lost 2-0 on the road.
Head-to-Head:
The most recent encounter saw Pirates secure a 1-0 win in the Carling Knockout during December while Gallants claimed a 2-1 league win earlier this season as heavy underdogs in the betting markets.
Odds: Orlando Pirates 1.38 | Draw 4.75 | Marumo Gallants 9.50
Verdict:
Orlando Pirates are flying high at the top of the standings and boast the tightest defence in the division. Marumo Gallants have struggled badly in recent weeks, particularly in front of goal. With Pirates strong at home and defensively solid, this looks set to be a controlled performance from the hosts.

Polokwane City vs Siwelele – click here to bet
Polokwane City are 8th on the table with 24 points from 16 matches. They have won six games, drawn six and lost four, currently possessing a goal difference of +2.
They have been competitive in recent weeks going undefeated in four of their last five fixtures. Their home form has been steady, with the side proving difficult to break down and their most recent game ended in a 2-2 draw with Orbit College on home turf.
Siwelele hold 11th spot on the leaderboard with 17 points from 16 matches. They have earned four wins, settled for five draws and seven defeats, scoring just 9 goals while conceding 14.
They have drawn their last three league matches, including a 1-1 away result against Richards Bay and a 1-1 home draw with Mamelodi Sundowns.
Head-to-Head:
The reverse fixture earlier this season saw Polokwane City claim a 1-0 away victory over Siwelele in August. This was the first competitive meeting between the sides.
Odds: Polokwane City 2.60 | Draw 2.70 | Siwelele 3.40
Verdict:
Both sides have been involved in low-scoring encounters throughout their respective campaigns and neither boasts a particularly potent attack. With Polokwane solid defensively at home and Siwelele often settling for draws, this could be another well contested matchup and I am going to back the unders here and ma looking for no more than a goal.
Bet: Under 1.5 Goals at 2.00
Chippa United vs Richards Bay – click here to bet
Chippa United find themselves 14th on the table with 15 points from 17 matches. They have claimed three wins, six draws and eight defeats, holding an aggregate goal difference of 10 for with 21 against.
They have shown improvement recently, winning back-to-back matches against Orbit College where they won 1-0 and more recently Durban City who they beat by two goals without conceding. The side also kept clean sheets in draws with Kaizer Chiefs and Siwelele prior to that.
Richards Bay sit 9th overall on 19 points from 16 matches. They have picked up four wins, seven draws and five defeats and they have battled away from home, winning only one of their 7 fixtures.
Notably they are unbeaten in their last six league matches, drawing 2-2 with Golden Arrows in their latest test which came after a 1-1 stalemate at home against Siwelele. They have now played four home games on the trot and this away clash will be a tough ask based on their form on opposition soil.
Head-to-Head:
Richards Bay won the first league meeting between the sides earlier this season 1-0 at home. Since then they have played once, going head-to-head in the Carling Knockout Cup 2025 when Richards Bay put up a dominant display to win 4-1 at home.
Odds: Chippa United 2.90 | Draw 2.70 | Richards Bay 3.00
Verdict:
Chippa United have tightened up defensively in recent weeks and look more organised at the back. Richards Bay are resilient but often struggle to turn draws into wins especially on the road. With both sides evenly matched, I am expecting a close 90 minutes.
Bet: Draw at 2.70
