There are two midweek PSL fixtures taking place on Tuesday the 6th and on Wednesday the 7th of May.
We look at both matchups from a betting angle and offer up a play in each match for your consideration.
GOLDEN ARROWS vs ORLANDO PIRATES – Click here to bet
Golden Arrows have battled to build momentum this season and are placed 14th overall after 23 games played.
Their home form has been poor and of their 12 games they have won just 3, while drawing 5 and losing the remaining 4.
The last encounter they had was with Stellenbosch on Saturday, in a one-sided clash that concluded in a 3-0 loss for Arrows at home.
Orlando Pirates have extended the gap between them in 2nd and Sekhukhune in 3rd to 4 points.
They have played 22 fixtures and won 16 while drawing 1 and losing 5 and on the road they have won 7, drawn 1 and lost 3 of their 11 matches.
They took to the pitch on Saturday where they met with Kaizer Chiefs and edged a 2-1 victory in the Soweto Derby having to come from behind after conceding a 2nd minute goal.
Head-to-Head
These teams went head-to-head twice last season where the first match on Golden Arrows turf was won 2-1 by Pirates. The second game saw Pirates host Arrows and hammer them 7-1.
Betting and Verdict
Golden Arrows are trading at 6.00 with Orlando Pirates favourites at 1.57 and the draw is 3.70.
I think that this will be a high scoring game with Pirates taking the win by more than a goal.
BET: Handicap – Orlando Pirates -1.5 at 2.70

MAMELODI SUNDOWNS vs CHIPPA UNITED – Click here to bet
Mamelodi Sundowns have had another incredible season, winning 20, drawing 1 and losing just 3 of their matchups, which led to them comfortably breaking away from the rest of the sides. They are in 1st place currently 12 points ahead of Pirates in 2nd.
It is important to note they have been flawless at home, winning all 11 of their games and conceding just 3 goals on home soil while scoring 32.
The last time they played was in an away fixture hosted by Cape Town City on the weekend where they came away with a 2-0 victory.
Chippa United have had an inconsistent run in the premiership this season which puts them in 8th on the table after winning 8, drawing 6 and losing 11 of their encounters.
They have struggled when playing away from home and of their 12 games they have won just 2 while drawing 3 and losing 7.
They took on SuperSport on Saturday and after not finding the back of the net they lost 2-0 away from home.
Head-to-Head
The last two times these sides met was in the 23/24 season where Sundowns picked up a 2-0 win on both occasions.
Betting and Verdict
Mamelodi Sundowns are priced at 1.30 with Chippa United 11.00 and the draw 4.75.
I believe that Sundowns will be simply too strong at home and they will beat Chippa by more than a single goal.
BET: Handicap – Sundowns -1.5 goals at 2.00
