The final round of DSTV Premiership action takes place on Saturday and we take a look at the 7 matches from a betting angle.
Mamelodi Sundowns and Maritzburg United have completed their campaigns and Sundowns have wrapped up the Title while Maritzburg United are in 14th position and just 1 point ahead of Gallants and Chippa United who sit in the relegation playoff spot and relegation zone respectively, so it is going to be a nervous weekend for them.
Swallows v Marumo Gallants – click here to bet
Swallows sit 9th on the log in a log jam with three other teams on 37 points. Swallows have only taken 1 point from the last 6 they have played for.
Marumo Gallants are sitting in that relegation playoff spot and they know victory here would see them play in the PSL Football for another season. They are unbeaten in their last 4 matches with 3 draws and a victory, but have struggled on the road this season and haven’t won in their last 5.
Marumo Gallants are actually favourites for this game at 15/10 and bookies are expecting a strong performance as they have more to play for of the two teams and I am going to go for them to get the 3 points they need.
Suggested Bet: Marumo Gallants win at 15/10
Stellenbosch v TS Galaxy – Click here to bet
Stellenbosch are 6th on the log and their recent home form has been solid with 4 wins and a draw in their last 5 games. They face a TS Galaxy side sitting 10th on the log and with only 2 points taken from their last 4 matches.
I am a little bit surprised to see 11/10 about Stellenbosch’s chances and I am happy to take anything at even money and above.
Suggested Bet: Stellenbosch win at 11/10
Sekhukhune United v SuperSport United – Click here to bet
Sekhukhune United are 7th on the table and face a SuperSport side sitting 3rd and can still leapfrog Pirates to 2nd should Pirates slip up this weekend.
SuperSport are undefeated in their last 5 games, but their away form has been less impressive and they haven’t won in their last 5 matches on the road.
I am calling an upset win here and think that Sekhukhune will take advantage of SuperSport’s poor away form.
Suggested Bet: Sekhukhune United win at 3/1
Richards Bay v Royal AM – Click here to bet
Richards Bay were 2nd on the table at one stage this season and have slumped dramatically to 13th and looking at recent form have only drawn 1 of their last 5 games and in fact have lost their last 5 matches.
Royal Am sit 11th on the table, 2 points and 2 positions above Richards Bay. They hit a bit of form towards the end of the season and are unbeaten in their last 3 home games taking 7 points from a possible 9.
I can’t have Richards Bay on their current form and I am calling an away win here.
Suggested Bet: Royal AM win at 5/2

Kaizer Chiefs v Cape Town City – Click here to bet
Kaizer Chiefs are 4th on the log and they have no prospect of catching SuperSport United and Orlando Pirates above them in the League. They have been in poor form towards the end of the season and have only won 1 of their last 5 games.
Cape Town City are 5th on the table and could leapfrog Kaizer Chiefs by beating them here. Their last 5 games have seen them draw 2, win 2 and lose 1 and they have only lost 1 of their last 5 away games winning their last 2.
Kaizer Chiefs seem to be limping into the end of the season and I am going for an away win here.
Suggested Bet: Cape Town City win at 27/10
Chippa United v Golden Arrows – Click here to bet
Chippa United are at the bottom of the table and in desperate need of 3 points. They have only won 1 of their last 5 matches and at home have only taken 1 point from their last 15.
They face a Golden Arrows side which sits 8th on the log having won 2, drawn 2 and lost 1 of their last 5 games.
Chippa United are the 12/10 favourites here, but I can’t have them at that price though I do think we are going to get goals in this match and Chippa United will be forced to come forward.
Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals at 14/10
AmaZulu v Orlando Pirates – Click here to bet
AmaZulu are 12th on the log with just 1 win in their last 5 games. Their home form hasn’t been much better and they have also won 1 of their last 5 and have only taken 1 point from the last 9 they have played for at home.
They face a Pirates side that will be looking to secure 2nd spot with a victory here and they are in good form coming off 3 successive victories although they did lose their last away game.
AmaZulu are safe from relegation and don’t have much to play for and I am calling a Pirates win.
Suggested Bet: Orlando Pirates win at 10/11
