ORLANDO PIRATES vs CAPE TOWN CITY – Click here to bet
Orlando Pirates remain in 2nd on the log with 33 points and an aggregate goal difference of +16, with 26 scored and 10 conceded. They have participated in 14 fixtures, winning 11 and losing 3 of them.
Their home form has been on point this season and they have lost just 1 match while winning the remaining 7.
Their most recent clash was scheduled for the 19th against Golden Arrows however it was rained out. Prior to this they took on Sundowns in a tough encounter that resulted in a 4-1 defeat on the road.
Cape Town City sit in 10th place overall after winning 6, drawing 3 and losing 9 of their games this campaign. This leaves them on 21 points with their poor goal difference separating them from Chippa in 9th.
They have battled to get any traction over their last few matches and they have lost 3, drawn 1 and won 1 of their last 5. Their last action was on Tuesday when they suffered a 2-0 defeat to Chippa despite playing on home soil and starting solid favourites.
Head-to-Head
These sides met twice in the league last season where the first game was drawn 1-1. The second match went the way of Pirates who hosted the fixture and won 2-0. Their most recent game was held on the 8th of January and despite being underdogs, City pulled off the upset to win 1-0 at home.
Betting and Verdict
Pirates are priced at 1.44 with the draw 4.20 and Cape Town City at 7.50
Pirates will still feel they can pressure Sundowns and at home they should be too strong for a City team that has battled on the road.

MAMELODI SUNDOWNS vs TS GALAXY – Click here to bet
Mamelodi Sundowns continue their campaign in 1st on the table and they have pulled well clear, currently sitting on 45 points after 17 games with a 30-goal difference between scored and conceded.
They have been flawless at home this season, playing 8 matches and winning all of them. Their last game was played on Marumo Gallants turf and they won 3-1.
TS Galaxy have had an impressive run in the league this year, winning or drawing the majority of their games which puts them in 5th position after 18 matches played.
They have struggled to execute and win matches away from home, with 2 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses in front of an opposing crowd.
They went on a lengthy run of being unbeaten over the past 12 matches until they met with Stellenbosch on Tuesday and narrowly lost 3-2 at home.
Head-to-Head
These teams went head-to-head twice in the league over the 2023/24 season where Sundowns dominated the first match at home, winning 3-0. The second match concluded in a draw with one goal per side. Their most recent encounter was just over a week ago when TS Galaxy defied the betting odds to win 1-0 on home turf.
Betting and Verdict
Sundowns head into the match as 1.60 favourites with the draw trading at 3.40 and Galaxy at 6.50.
I think Sundowns will dominate at home and that their defence will be at its best.
BET: Result and Both teams to Score – Mamelodi Sundowns and No at 2.15
