POLOKWANE CITY vs KAIZER CHIEFS
Polokwane City have had a solid season and they are currently in 5th on the log after winning 4, drawing 2 and losing 3 of their 9 matches.
Polokwane have been in excellent form on home turf, and they are unbeaten so far, with 2 wins and 2 draws.
One of those draws came last time out against TS Galaxy, where the match was closely contested and Polokwane needed an 84th minute equaliser to snatch a point.
7 of Polokwane’s 9 matches have failed to reach the 3 goal mark.
Kaizer Chiefs have played a total of 7 matches, winning 3, drawing 2 and losing 2. This puts them in 8th place overall with anything from 1-3 games in hand over the teams above them.
Chiefs have performed well away from home in the league, and they have won 2, drawn 1 and lost 1 game on the road, with an aggregate goal difference of 7 for and 5 against.
They took on Royal AM in their latest encounter, played at home, which resulted in a 2-2 draw a disappointing result given Chiefs were short priced favourites.
6 of the 7 Chiefs games have delivered profits for over 2.5 goal backers.
Head-to-Head
These teams played twice last season, with only 1 goal being scored across both matches. The first game on Polokwane soil ended in a 1-0 Chiefs win. The second match was drawn 0-0.

Kaizer Chiefs 2.35
VERDICT
Although last seasons matches suggest a low scoring encounter, Chiefs games have had plenty of goal mount action this season and I think the value play here is on over 2.5 goals.
BET: Over 2.5 Goals at 2.75
It is not a confident pick but I like Chiefs to get the win here. To bolster the odds and in line with my thinking about a game with goals in it I am back Chiefs to get the win with both teams finding the net.
BET: Result and Both Teams to Score – Chiefs and yes at 6.50
For those that enjoy going for long odds selections how about the Polokwane 1 Chiefs 3 correct scoreline at 29.00? I am having a nibble.
BET: Correct Score 1-3 at 29.00
