AmaZulu vs Siwelele – click here to bet
AmaZulu come into this clash sitting 6th with 18 points from 11 matches. Their recent form has been inconsistent, suffering a narrow 1-0 defeat at home to Polokwane earlier this month after recording back-to-back victories, including a convincing 3-0 win away to Chippa United and a tight 1-0 home triumph over Durban City in October.
Their performances at Moses Mabhida have generally been steady this season, with solid defensive organisation and competitive midfield control which has led to them winning 4 and losing just once in 5 matches.
Siwelele sit 10th with 14 points from 12 games and arrive with growing confidence following consecutive league victories. They earned a 2-0 away win over Stellenbosch in their most recent encounter and picked up a surprising 1-0 home win against Sekhukhune the week prior.
Their defensive improvement is noteworthy, keeping clean sheets in their last four matches, although their overall away record still lacks consistency.
Head-to-Head:
There are no previous head-to-head meetings between these teams, making this their first competitive encounter.
Odds: AmaZulu 2.30 | Draw 2.90 | Siwelele 3.65
Verdict:
AmaZulu’s strong home performances and defensive reliability make them slight favourites, although Siwelele’s recent upturn in form suggests this could be a tightly contested affair. I am expecting a low-scoring match, with AmaZulu’s home advantage likely to prove the difference.
Bet: Result and Totals – AmaZulu and Under 2.5 Goals at 3.75
Marumo Gallants vs Sekhukhune United – click here to bet
Marumo Gallants are currently 12th with 13 points from 12 matches and enter this fixture after a difficult run of results. Successive 4-0 and 1-0 defeats to Golden Arrows and Durban City, conceding five goals across the two matches, has highlighted their defensive vulnerabilities.
They did manage a much needed 2-1 home victory against Chippa United before that, but overall consistency remains a major challenge for the side.
Sekhukhune United sit 4th on the log with 21 points from 11 games and continue to be one of the most well-balanced teams in the division. Their most recent outing saw them play out a 1-1 draw with Richards Bay, following a narrow 1-0 defeat away to Siwelele and of some concern is they have not won in their last 4.
Despite this slight dip in performance, they hold one of the league’s strongest defensive records, conceding just 6 goals and have shown resilience both home and away this season.
Head-to-Head:
These sides have met six times in recent seasons, with Sekhukhune winning three matches compared to Marumo Gallants’ two, while one encounter ended in a draw. The most recent match took place in March 2025 and saw Sekhukhune claim a 2-1 victory away from home, which followed their 1-0 win in the first fixture.
Odds: Marumo Gallants 2.90 | Draw 2.80 | Sekhukhune United 2.90
Verdict:
Marumo Gallants are struggling for momentum and come into this clash on the back of two heavy defeats, while Sekhukhune remain one of the more tactically disciplined and defensively secure teams in the league. I think they should have enough quality to manage the game and secure a result on the road.
Bet: Sekhukhune to Win at 2.90
