CAPE TOWN CITY vs MARUMO GALLANTS – Click here to bet
Cape Town City remain in the bottom half of the table in 10th, and currently sit on a goal difference of -13.
They have been winless across their last 8 fixtures having taken 5 losses and settling for 3 draws. It is worth noting that their home form has been much better than away and of their 10 games on home soil they have lost just 2.
They went head-to-head with Kaizer Chiefs away from home on Wednesday evening and after an uneventful 90 minutes the game concluded in a draw with neither team scoring.
Marumo Gallants have had a poor campaign in the league and after 21 matches they sit in 15th on the table, battling to avoid relegation after losing more than half of their matches.
They have been terrible on the road losing 8 of their 10 matches with 1 draw and 1 win.
Their most recent meeting was when they hosted Sekhukhune on Wednesday and they narrowly lost 2-1.
Head-to-Head
Marumo Gallants hold the advantage across these teams last 3 games after winning their first match last season 2-1 at home, the second match was drawn 2-2. They encountered one another in January where Marumo claimed a narrow 1-0 triumph at home.
Betting and Verdict
Cape Town City are favourites at 2.05 with the draw 3.13 and Marumo Gallants at 3.80.
Marumo Gallants have not had a great season and although they hold the advantage in terms of head-to-head in their last few matches, I think that Cape Town City can build on a strong home record and get the win.
BET: Cape Town City win at 2.05

CHIPPA UNITED vs POLOKWANE CITY – Click here to bet
Chippa United haven’t been able to maintain a winning run during the tournament which puts them in 11th position with an aggregate goal difference of 0 with 17 for and 17 conceded.
Their form in front of a home crowd has been inconsistent and they have not taken a win over their last 4 matches with 3 losses and 1 draw.
Their last encounter was scheduled against Royal AM, but it was postponed. Prior to this they met with Orlando Pirates and although they fought hard to restrict their opponents, they lost 1-0 on home soil.
Polokwane City have seen a major decline in their performance as the season has progressed as after a strong start where they were sitting in 3rd but have now dropped back to 6th overall.
They will be desperate to claim victory in this match due to their last win being over a month and 6 matches ago. Since then, they have lost 3 and drawn 3 fixtures.
They took on Golden Arrows on the 12th of March and even though they were favourites and had their supporters behind them they lost 1-0.
Head-to-Head
These sides met twice in the league last season where the first match was won 2-1 by Polokwane City away from home, the second match ended in a 1-0 win for them at home. Their latest clash was a month and a half ago where City claimed a 1-0 victory at home.
Betting and Verdict
Chippa United head into this match priced at 2.60 with the draw at 2.75 and Polokwane City trading at 3.10.
Chippa United can take advantage of Polokwane’s waning form and I am backing them to take the 3 points.
BET: Chippa United win at 2.60
