The MTN 8 Cup is underway and we take a look at the 2 remaining quarter-finals taking place on Saturday and Sunday from a betting angle.
Orlando Pirates beat Supersport 3-1 and Stellenbosch beat TS Galaxy by the same score to book their sports in the last 4. By the end of this weekend the 4 teams in the semi-finals will be confirmed.
SATURDAY
SEKHUKHUNE UNITED v CAPE TOWN CITY – Click here to bet
Sekhukhune finished their PSL season with a 1-0 away win over Chippa United but they rather limped in to the end of the season as that broke a run of 5 games without a win.
Their pre-season build up has been dominated by drama off the field with something of a head coach mess and they will be looking to put that to the back of their mind and to get the win.
Cape Town City finished last season strongly with 3 wins and a draw in their last 5 matches. Their final match was away to Sundowns who had wrapped up the title but the 1-0 win was impressive.
Coach Eric Tinkler has reinforced the squad and they look set for a big season.
Head-to-Head
These sides drew 2-2 here in the league last season and Sekhukhune won 1-0 on the road.
BET: Cape Town City win at 7/4
A settled Cape Town City can see off the home team who look in disarray.

SUNDAY
MAMELODI SUNDOWNS V POLOKWANE CITY – Click here to bet
Sundowns ran away wit the league title last season but they did drop points in both of their final league games and also lost in the Nedbank Cup Final to Pirates.
They have played a number if friendlies with mixed results.
Polokwane were undefeated in their last 5 league games winning 2 and drawing 3. They never conceded a goal in those 5 games although only scored 2.
Polokwane have managed to hold onto key players in the off season.
Head-to-Head
The sides played to a goalless draw at Sundowns at the end of 2023 and in the reverse fixture Sundowns won 2-0.
BET: Under 2.5 goals at 13/10
Given Polokwane’s defense and the fact that Sundowns are missing a few players this looks a cracking bet.
