There are 3 DSTV Premiership matches taking place on Saturday and we suggest a bet in each of them.
Polokwane v Cape Town Spurs – Click here to bet
Polokwane got off to a rough start in their return to the PSL, losing 1-0 at Cape Town City, but they bounced back strongly in their second match beating Stellenbosch 1-0 at home.
Cape Town Spurs were pipped by Polokwane in the 1st Division last season, but they managed to come through the playoffs to win promotion and unlike their opponents they have yet to get a point in two games though losing 1-0 away to TS Galaxy and 2-0 at home to Sekhukhune.
These sides met in the 1st Division last season with Polokwane going down 2-0 at Cape Town Spurs and at home they drew 0-0.
Cape Town Spurs look like they are in for a long, hard battle to survive in the PSL and I think that Polokwane are the superior side.
Suggested Bet: Polokwane win at 12/10
AmaZulu v Richards Bay – Click here to bet
AmaZulu are 12th on the log with 2 points from their opening two matches, both games were goalless, away at Royal AM and at home to SuperSport United.
Richards Bay have lost both of their games played to date, losing 2-0 at SuperSport United and then 2-1 at home to Golden Arrows.
Richards Bay shocked AmaZulu winning 1-0 in Durban last season and the reverse fixture finished 1-1.
Can AmaZulu play out a 3rd consecutive goalless draw? I think they can and I am going to back that in the Correct Score Market.
Suggested Bet: Correct Score, 0-0 at 9/2

Chippa United v Mamelodi Sundowns – Betting will be here when priced up
Chippa United have played 3 matches already, drawing all of them. They opened with goalless draws away at Chiefs and at home to TS Galaxy before drawing 1-1 with Pirates in midweek.
Mamelodi Sundowns also played 3 matches and they have a 100% record and sit top of the table. Sundowns opened with a 2-1 away win over a game Sekhukhune side before beating Kaizer Chiefs 2-1 at home. I thought Arrows might stretch them on Tuesday night when they visited Sundowns, but Sundowns were too strong winning 4-0.
Sundowns have won 5 of the last 6 meetings between the sides with the other drawn, but they very seldom have an easy ride against Chippa United and I am going to back Sundowns to win by exactly 1 goal, something that has happened in 2 of the last 3 matches hosted by Chippa United.
Suggested Bet: Handicap, Sundown’s -1 goal the draw when match is priced up
