There are 7 DSTV Premiership matches taking place on Saturday and we suggest a bet in each of them.
Mamelodi Sundowns have long wrapped up their Title defence, but you can still get betting on the battle for second place where Orlando Pirates are now very short at 1/11 with SuperSport United on offer at 5/1.

Cape Town City v Richards Bay – Click here to bet
Cape Town City are 5th on the log with just 1 defeat in their last 9 starts. They played out a goalless draw against Golden Arrows at home last time out.
Richards Bay’s freefall from 2nd place down to 13th has been remarkable and they have only taken 1 point from the last 10 matches they have played. Their last game was a 3-2 home defeat to Chippa United.
Given that Richards Bay has lost 9 of their 10 matches I can’t believe I am getting 17/20 about a Cape Town City win.
Suggested Bet: Cape Town City win at 17/20.
Golden Arrows v AmaZulu – Click here to bet
Golden Arrows are 9th on the log, but with just 1 win in their last 5 starts. Last time out they played a goalless draw at Cape Town City.
AmaZulu are 11th on the table and are coming off a 2-2 home draw with Mamelodi Sundowns, but they have only taken 1 point from the last 9 they have played for on the road.
I expect this to be a tight and probably low scoring affair and the draw for me is the value play here.
Suggested Bet: The draw at 85/40

Maritzburg United v Stellenbosch – Click here to bet
Maritzburg are bottom of the table and in desperate need of points if they have to have any chance of survival which at this stage looks more mathematical than realistic. They have only won 1 of their last 10 matches and drew 2-2 at home to Marumo Gallants last time out.
Stellenbosch are 6th on the log and they are undefeated in their last 3 games playing out a goalless draw at SuperSport United last time out. That broke a run of 4 successive Stellenbosch matches where overs backers collected profits and given that Maritzburg have to throw caution to the wind I think we are going to get goals in this one.
Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals at 5/4
Orlando Pirates v Sekhukhune – Click here to bet
Pirates are 2nd on the log 2 points ahead of 3rd placed SuperSport with both teams having 2 games left to play.
Pirates saw a 6 match winning run ended last time out when they drew 1-1 at home to Royal AM and both teams have found the back of the net in their last 3 matches.
Sekhukhune are 7th on the log and coming off a 1-1 home draw with Galaxy. They have the worst away record in the League though with only 2 wins in 14 attempts and I am expecting Pirates to be too strong for them here.
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Pirates -1.5 goals at 37/20
Royal AM v Swallows – Click here to bet
Royal AM are 8th on the log, but without a win in their last 3 starts. They face Swallows who sit 10th after back-to-back victories, away to Kaizer Chiefs and at home to Maritzburg United. 8 of the last 9 Royal AM matches have seen both teams find the back of the net and I am happy to back that trend to continue.
Suggested Bet: Both teams to score, YES, at 21/20
SuperSport United v Kaizer Chiefs – Click here to bet
SuperSport United are 3rd on the log, 4 points ahead of Kaizer Chiefs in 4th. SuperSport United are coming off a goalless draw at home to Stellenbosch. They have only lost 1 of their last 10 matches.
Kaizer Chiefs went down 2-1 to Swallows in the Soweto Derby last time out, but their last away game was a 1-0 victory over Chippa United.
5 out of the last 6 head-to-head matches between these sides have been decided by exactly 1 goal and I am looking for SuperSport to edge this one.
Suggested Bet: Handicap, SuperSport -1 goal, the draw at 27/20
TS Galaxy v Chippa United – Click here to bet
TS Galaxy are currently 12th on the log with just 2 points from their last 5 matches. They drew 1-1 on the road with Sekhukhune last time out.
Chippa United are 15th on the log and in the relegation playoff spot. They beat Richards Bay 3-2 on the road last time out to break an 8 match run without a victory.
TS Galaxy are 11/10 for this match, but I can’t have them at that price and on current form and in fact I think a hungry and desperate Chippa United side are the bet here.
Suggested Bet: Chippa United win at 11/4
