TS GALAXY vs AMAZULU – Click here to bet
TS Galaxy have had a tough time this season and they sit far back in 14th on the log after winning 1, drawing 3 and losing 4 of their 8 matches. They have only lost once in their last 5 though.
They performed well in their latest game against a strong Polokwane City side on the road. The match ended 1-1 with TS Galaxy conceding the equalizer in the final minutes.
AmaZulu have done slightly better than Galaxy in their 2024 campaign so far, winning 2 and losing 4 of their 6 games, which puts them in 13th on the table, level on points with Galaxy but with 2 games in hand.
They have found some form in their last two matches, winning both. Their latest clash saw them take on Richards Bay away from home where they dominated and won 3-1 for their first points away from home this season.
Head-to-Head
These sides have gone head-to-head 3 times since 2023, with the first match being a home game for Amazulu in which they won 1-0. The next time they met was in the Carling Knockout Cup 2023, where TS Galaxy fought hard despite being away from home to win 3-2. The third and most recent encounter was held in March where TS Galaxy beat AmaZulu 2-0 at home.
Verdict
TS Galaxy’s position in the table belies some decent recent form and I think they can get 3 points here.
BET: TS Galaxy win at 2.05

MARUMO GALLANTS vs MAGESI FC – Click here to bet
Marumo Gallants have struggled to get on the winning side of things this season and they are placed in 12th overall after winning 2, drawing 1 and losing 4 of their 7 fixtures.
Their most recent match scheduled against Orlando Pirates was postponed. Prior to that match they beat SuperSport 1-0 in front of opposition supporters.
Magesi FC are 15th on the log due to winning 1, drawing 3 and losing 3 of their 7 encounters this season.
Magesi where scheduled to play Stellenbosch on the 3rd of December , however it was also postponed. Their most recent match before this was a game on the road against Chippa United, where Magesi could not find the back of the net, losing the match 2-0.
Magesi away matches have average only a single goal each.
Head-to-Head
These teams battled it out against one another twice last season in the league where Magesi came out on top both times, winning 2-0 at home and away.
Verdict
I think that despite Magesi winning both fixtures last season, they will fall short this time around and Maruma Gallants look the value for 3 points.
BET: Marumo Gallants win at 2.10
If you are looking for a bigger price try the 1-0 correct score options at 5.50
SEKHUKHUNE UNITED vs CAPE TOWN CITY FC – Click here to bet
Sekhukhune United have had a decent start to their season, winning 3, drawing 1 and losing 3 matches, which puts them in 8th overall.
Their most recent match was played on the 30th of November when they faced a well-oiled Sundowns side away from home in a one-sided affair that ended 3-0 in favour of Sundowns.
Cape Town City’s form has come as a bit of a shock so far in the league as they have struggled to perform, winning 2, drawing 2 and losing 3 of their 7 games, which results in them being in 11th place on the table.
They played against Golden Arrows on Sunday on opposition soil. The match was high scoring, with both sides beating the keepers, but City couldn’t get the job done in the end and they lost 3-2.
Head-to-Head
These teams played twice in the 23/24 season, the first match saw Sekhukhune pick up a 1-0 win away from home. The second match was drawn 2-2 on Sekhukhune turf. The last time they went head-to-head was in the MTN 8 Cup 2024 and City claimed victory in a low scoring 1-0 encounter.
Verdict
My pick is Sekhukhune to win a high scoring match. The straight win bet is 2.15 but I am going to stretch those odds and look for a home win with 2 goals or more being scored.
BET: Result and Totals – Sekhukhune and Over 1.5 at 4.30
