There are 3 DSTV Premiership matches taking place on Saturday and we take a look at each of them from a betting angle.
A reminder to punters that World Sports Betting have priced up the Outright Market without Mamelodi Sundowns and SuperSport United go into the weekend as 15/10 favourites and to finish runners-up to Sundowns with Chiefs 4/1, Pirates 9/2, you can get 8/1 Richards Bay and 16/1 and better the balance.

Richards Bay v Kaizer Chiefs – Click here to bet
Richards Bay have slipped to 4th on the table and are without a win in their last 5 games. They have lost their last 3 games in succession. Last time out they went down 2-1 at home to Stellenbosch. 40% of Richards Bay home matches have finished in draws.
Kaizer Chiefs are 5th on the table level on points with Richards Bay, but behind them on goal difference. They picked up 3 points last time out with a confidence boosting 1-0 victory over Orlando Pirates in the Soweto Derby. Chiefs have won 40% of their away matches over a season.
Looking at the goal stats, Richards Bay home matches have averaged just 1.1 goals each with only 1 of the 10 matches reaching the 3 goal mark. 40% of Kaizer Chiefs away games have delivered profits for over 2.5 goal backers and their away games have averaged 2.3 goals each.
Chiefs beat Richards Bay 1-0 in the reverse fixture earlier in the season and I expect them to do the double as Richards Bay appear to be hitting reverse gear at the moment.
Suggested Bet: Kaizer Chiefs win at 27/20

Royal AM v Sekhukhune – Click here to bet
Royal Am are currently 10th on the log and with just 1 win in their last 6 matches. They drew 1-1 away to AmaZulu last time out. Their last home game was a 1-1 draw with SuperSport. Royal AM home games have averaged 1.9 goals this season with only 3 of the 11 reaching the 3 goal mark.
Sekhukhune are 7th on the table and they have won 2 and lost 3 of their last 5 matches. Last time out they were beaten 1-0 at home by Cape Town City and their last 2 away games were 2-0 defeats to Marumo Gallants and Sundowns. In Sekhukhune’s last 7 games only 1 team has found the back of the net so the current price of both teams to score, no, of 8/13 looks more than justified.
Sekhukhune have lost their last two games in succession on the road and I fancy Royal AM to make that three.
Suggested Bet: Royal AM win at 17/10
Maritzburg United v Cape Town City – Click here to bet
Maritzburg United are currently 15th on the log, but only 1 point from the last 12 they have played for. They lost 2-0 away to SuperSport United last time out and at home this season they have won 30% of their fixtures played. 50% of their home games have delivered profits for over 2.5 goal backers.
Cape Town City are up to 6th on the table after breaking a poor run of results with back-to-back victories away at Sekhukhune and at home to Swallows. They have battled on the road this season and that victory at Sekhukhune was just their second win in 10 away trips this season. 40% of Cape Town City away matches have reached the 3 goal mark.
These sides played to a goalless draw at Cape Town City earlier this season. Maritzburg haven’t beaten Cape Town City in the League in the last 6 matches.
I must admit I am going to base my bet on a bit of gut feel, I just think we are going to get goals something similar to the 3-2 victory Cape Town City had over Maritzburg last season.
Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals at 13/8
