The South African Premiership is drawing to a conclusion and we look at 3 of Saturdays matches from a betting angle and offer up our selections for consideration.
ORLANDO PIRATES vs TS GALAXY – Click here to bet
Orlando Pirates remain in 2nd place on the table, and they have extended their lead over Sekhukhune, who are in 3rd, by 10 points after their last match.
They took on Golden Arrows in their most recent matchup which took place on Tuesday and after beating them 2-1 the previous week, they put in a dominant home shift to win the game 3-0.
Pirates played in the Nedbank Cup Final last week losing a lead and the up to their great rivals Kaizer Chiefs.
TS Galaxy have had an impressive run in the Premiership this season, winning 8, drawing 10 and losing 9 of their encounters which leaves them in 5th position overall, currently level on points with AmaZulu.
The last time they took to the pitch was on the 4th of May when they suffered a disappointing 1-0 loss to Richards Bay despite being on home soil.
Head-to-Head
These sides met twice in the 23/24 season where they each won 1-0 when they played at home, thereafter their last meeting was earlier this season in September where Pirates claimed a 2-0 win on the road.
Betting and Verdict
Orlando Pirates are favourites to win the match at 1.55 with TS Galaxy at 6.00 and the draw is currently 3.80.
I believe that Orlando Pirates will simply be too strong at home for TS Galaxy and they will win the game after a high-scoring 80 minutes.
BET: Orlando Pirates and Over 2.5 Goals at 2.88
SEKHUKHUNE vs KAIZER CHIEFS – Click here to bet
Sekhukhune are fighting to remain in 3rd position on the table and they are just one point above Stellenbosch in 4th due to winning 13, drawing 6 and losing 7 of their 26 visits to the pitch.
Their recent form has been respectable, and they have not lost in their last 5 games, with the latest resulting in a 1-1 draw to Magesi away from home on the 3rd of May.
Kaizer Chiefs have battled to hold onto any sort of winning form in the back end of the season and overall they have lost 12 matches while winning 8 and drawing 6 which results in them being in 9th place on the log.
Of their last 5 clashes they have lost 3 and drawn 2 with the most recent result being a narrow 2-1 loss to Pirates when they met on the 3rd of May. They got revenge last week though beating Pirates to win the Nedbank Cup in Durban.
Head-to-Head
The last time these teams played was in January where Chiefs clinched a 1-0 win at home, prior to that they met twice last season where the first match was won 2-1 by Chiefs at home and the second game was drawn 1-1 at Sekhukhune.
Betting and Verdict
Sekhukhune are priced at 3.20 with Kaizer Chiefs 2.30 and the draw is at 3.10.
I think that this will be a well-matched contest that will see goals from both sides and result in a draw.

STELLENBOSCH vs SUPERSPORT UNITED – Click here to bet
Stellenbosch have fought hard to try reclaim the number 3 spot on the table and they are just short, currently in 4th after winning 12, drawing 8 and losing 6 of their fixtures.
They faced Mamelodi Sundowns side on Sunday where they could not find the back of the net and lost 3-0.
SuperSport United have battled to get things rolling all season and they are left in 13th spot on the log after 24 games of which they have won 6, drawn 8 and lost 10.
Their last action was a one-sided affair against Chippa on the 3rd where they scored two unanswered goals to pick up a valuable 3 points at home.
Head-to-Head
These sides met in April 2024 during the Nedbank Cup 23/24 where Stellenbosch dominated the encounter to take a 4-0 victory in front of a home crowd. Their most recent action was this season in December where the game was evenly matched and ended with a 1-1 draw in Pretoria.
Betting and Verdict
Stellenbosch are trading at 2.00 for the win with SuperSport 4.00 and the draw is 3.10.
I believe that this game will be a good one to watch and full of action, I think that Stellenbosch will use their crowd to their advantage, getting off to a good start and holding on to take the win.
BET: Halftime/Fulltime – Stellenbosch/Stellenbosch at 3.13
