It’s another action-packed weekend in the South African Premiership, with five fixtures lined up on Saturday.
Two of the league’s early pacesetters, Sekhukhune United and Kaizer Chiefs, will be aiming to hold on to top spot, while Sundowns look to maintain their unbeaten record. Elsewhere, Stellenbosch search for back-to-back wins, AmaZulu try to build momentum against struggling Magesi, and TS Galaxy look to continue their climb when they face Orbit College.
Stellenbosch FC vs Mamelodi Sundowns (Athlone Stadium, 15:00) – click here to bet
Stellenbosch claimed their first win of the season in midweek, edging Gallants 1–0 to move up to 11th. Sundowns were held 0–0 by Chiefs in a top-of-the-table clash but remain unbeaten and have conceded just once in four games. Their defensive record makes them firm favourites here.
Odds: Stellenbosch 4.30 | Draw 3.38 | Sundowns 1.85
Verdict:
Sundown’s defence is extremely tight and with Stellenbosch having battled to find goals in their first few games, I think this should result in a win on the road for Sundowns
Bet: Result and Both Teams to Score – Sundowns and No at 2.75
Magesi FC vs AmaZulu (Seshego Stadium, 15:00) – click here to bet
Magesi fell 2–1 to Golden Arrows on Wednesday and are still searching for their first league win, sitting second from bottom. AmaZulu earned a valuable 1–1 draw away to Sekhukhune and continue to look resilient defensively, conceding only three goals in four matches.
Odds: Magesi 2.85 | Draw 2.80 | AmaZulu 2.80
Verdict:
Both sides carry low-scoring reputations into this clash. AmaZulu are averaging less than a goal per game, while Magesi’s –3 goal difference highlights their defensive frailties and leaves them looking vulnerable heading into the fixture.
Bet: AmaZulu to win at 2.80

Golden Arrows vs Kaizer Chiefs (Moses Mabhida Stadium, 17:30) – click here to bet
Arrows edged Magesi 2–1 last time out to climb into 5th place. Chiefs were held 0–0 by Sundowns but still boast a perfect defensive record with no goals conceded in four matches. They share top spot with Sekhukhune and will expect to extend their unbeaten run.
Odds: Arrows 3.70 | Draw 2.88 | Chiefs 2.15
Verdict:
Chiefs’ defensive structure has been flawless this season, with zero goals conceded in four matches. Arrows have looked sharp in attack, scoring five times while remaining solid at the back. Still, Chiefs’ organisation and discipline should prove decisive, restricting Arrows’ chances and seeing them come out on top.
Bet: Result and Totals – Kaizer Chiefs and Over 1.5 Goals at 3.13
Sekhukhune United vs Durban City (Peter Mokaba Stadium, 17:30) – click here to bet
Sekhukhune remain top on goal difference despite being held 1–1 by AmaZulu in their latest outing. Durban City also drew 0–0 away to Polokwane and sit 4th on the log, still unbeaten after four matches with just one goal conceded. This looks like a clash between two of the league’s most disciplined defences.
Odds: Sekhukhune 1.95 | Draw 3.00 | Durban City 4.50
Verdict:
Both teams have let in just 1 goal in their 4 matches and with this being a top-of-the-table clash, I see very few opportunities to score and I am picking a goalless draw.
Bet: Result and Totals – Draw and Under 1.5 Goals at 6.00.
Orbit College FC vs TS Galaxy (Dobsonville Stadium, 20:00) – click here to bet
Orbit were narrowly beaten 1–0 by Pirates in midweek and sit 14th with three points. TS Galaxy moved up to 7th after a comfortable 2–0 win over Siwelele, showing their attacking threat. With momentum on their side, Galaxy will fancy their chances of taking another step up the table.
Odds: Orbit 3.70 | Draw 2.88 | Galaxy 2.20
Verdict:
Orbit have shown competitiveness in patches but continue to lack the attacking firepower to trouble stronger opponents. Galaxy, fresh from a confident win over Siwelele, look to have the momentum and quality to edge this contest. I am backing them to be the only side to find the net.
Bet: Result and Both Teams to Score – TS Galaxy and No at 3.00.
