Polokwane City vs Mamelodi Sundowns – click here to bet
Polokwane City are currently 6th on the table with 37 points from 25 matches. They have registered nine wins, ten draws and six defeats while producing 20 goals and allowing 16 at the back, highlighting a side that is well organised at the back but not overly prolific in the second half of the field.
Their recent form has been solid. Polokwane secured a 1-0 win over Stellenbosch in their latest outing after a goalless draw with Kaizer Chiefs, which followed a 1-1 stalemate away to Chippa United.
Mamelodi Sundowns sit 2nd overall with 58 points from 25 matches. They have recorded seventeen victories, seven draws and just one defeat accumulating 43 goals while letting only 13 slip past the keeper. Victory here would put them 2 points clear and firmly in the box seat.
They come into this clash in steady form. Sundowns were held to a 0-0 draw by Richards Bay last time they played after a 1-1 share of the spoils with Stellenbosch, which came after a narrow 1-0 success over Durban City.
Head-to-Head:
Mamelodi Sundowns have largely dominated this fixture over the years winning the majority of recent meetings, including a comfortable 2-0 victory last season, while Polokwane did manage to claim a surprise 1-0 win in the first fixture of the 2024/25 campaign. These sides will meet again on the 3rd of May.
Odds: Polokwane City 7.25 | Draw 4.00 | Mamelodi Sundowns 1.53
Verdict:
Polokwane City are a difficult side to break down but Mamelodi Sundowns possess superior quality and consistency across the pitch. I don’t expect a high scoring affair, I believe Sundown’s control should see them edge this contest.
Bet: Result and Totals – Mamelodi Sundowns and Under 3.5 Goals at 2.00

Siwelele vs Kaizer Chiefs – click here to bet
Siwelele are positioned 11th on the standings with 29 points from 25 fixtures played. They have managed six wins, eleven draws and eight defeats this season while scoring just 13 goals and conceding 17 to reflect a team that struggles on attack but remains relatively disciplined defensively.
Their recent form has been steady. Siwelele played out back-to-back goalless draws against Golden Arrows and Marumo Gallants in the last couple of weeks, following a 1-1 draw with AmaZulu.
Kaizer Chiefs occupy 3rd place on the log with 47 points from 25 matches and they have secured thirteen wins, eight draws and suffered four losses. In the process they have netted 29 goals while shipping only 15.
They head into this encounter in decent form. Chiefs held Orlando Pirates to a 1-1 draw in their most recent match after a stalemate against Polokwane City which came after an emphatic 4-1 victory over Magesi.
Head-to-Head:
The previous meeting between these sides ended in a stalemate, with both teams unable to break the deadlock in what was a tightly contested affair.
Odds: Siwelele 4.25 | Draw 2.80 | Kaizer Chiefs 2.25
Verdict:
Siwelele’s defensive approach could make this a frustrating encounter, but Kaizer Chiefs have more quality going forward and should find a way through. I am backing Chiefs to get the job done at an attractive price.
Bet: Kaizer Chiefs to Win at 2.25
