We take a look at the five DSTV Premiership matches taking place on Saturday and suggest a bet in each of them.
With Mamelodi Sundowns having all but wrapped up the PSL Title, World Sports Betting are now betting on who will finish second and here we have 3/1 joint favourites, Richards Bay and Orlando Pirates.

Chippa United v Stellenbosch – Click here to bet
Chippa United are currently 7th on the log and are undefeated in their last 3 starts. Last time out they beat Maritzburg 1-0 at home and 8 of 19 Chippa United matches have delivered profits for over 2.5 goal backers.
They face Stellenbosch who are currently 13th on the log and picked up their first win in 9 starts when they beat Cape Town City 3-2 at home last time out. That was their second successive game that had 5 goals in it having been on the wrong end of a 4-1 defeat to Pirates.
Given the high scoring nature of Stellenbosch’s recent games I can’t resist over 2.5 goals at current prices.
Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals at 17/10
Golden Arrows v Royal AM – Click here to bet
Arrows are currently sitting 11th on the log, 1 point and 1 position above Royal AM who have a game in hand. Arrows have lost 3 of their last 4 games including getting hammered 4-0 by TS Galaxy on the road last time out. 4 out of Arrows 5 last games have delivered profits for over 2.5 goal backers and 3 of those matches have had 4 goals or more in them.
Royal AM have only won 1 of their last 7 matches and they were beaten 2-0 away at Kaizer Chiefs last time out. 50% of their matches have reached 3 goals or more this season, the highest percentage in the League.
It is not often that stats point to high scoring games in the PSL, but that is the case here and even the last two head-to-heads have delivered 4 goals each.
Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals at 29/20
Orlando Pirates v Mamelodi Sundowns – Click here to bet
Pirates are currently sitting 4th on the table and have won their last 3 matches in a row, last time out beating Marumo Gallants 2-0 on the road. They face a Mamelodi Sundowns side that is cruising at the top of the PSL table after winning 14 successive matches. Last time out they beat Sekhukhune 2-0 at home.
Sundowns are priced as 10/11 favourites here and it is not surprising given they have won their last 5 League matches against Pirates. Pirates are playing some good football at the moment and I am backing them to end the Sundowns winning run.
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Orlando Pirates +0.5 goals at 9/10
Place a Premier League multiple of 5 legs or more, and if any of your selections players scores a hat-trick, we will pay your bet out in Free Bet vouchers even if you lose your bet.
SuperSport United v Cape Town City – Click here to bet
SuperSport United are very much in the hunt for second place and they currently sit 3rd on the log, but without a win in their last 4 games. They face Cape Town City who are 9th on the table and saw a 3 match unbeaten streak ended when they went down 3-2 away at Stellenbosch last time out.
SuperSport are unbeaten at home this season and Cape Town City have only won once on the road in 9 attempts and I am quite happy to take anything above even money about SuperSport to win this one.
Suggested Bet: SuperSport win at 11/10
Marumo Gallants v Sekhukhune – Click here to bet
Marumo Gallants currently sit bottom of the table with just 2 wins in 20 matches. They are coming off a 2-0 home defeat to Pirates and have only won 1 of 9 home matches this season. Sekhukhune currently sit 6th on the log and have enjoyed a good season, but they saw a 6 match unbeaten streak and a 4 match winning run ended when they lost 2-0 away at Mamelodi Sundowns last time out.
Both these teams have generally played low scoring games with 16 of the 20 Gallants games failing to reach the 3 goal mark and Sekhukhune have had 4 of their 18 matches deliver profits for over 2.5 goal backers.
Aside from the 2 goals they conceded against Sundowns, Sekhukhune defence has been outstanding and I am backing them to keep a clean sheet.
Suggested Bet: Marumo Gallants, Total Goals under 0.5 at 14/10
