RICHARDS BAY vs ORLANDO PIRATES – Click here to bet
Richards Bay are currently 8th on the log and have played three matches and taken a total of 4 points. They opened with a 1-0 home win over Galaxy before going down 1-0 away to Chippa United and their last start was a goalless draw at Royal AM, meaning there has only been a total of 2 goals in their opening 3 matches.
Orlando Pirates are 2nd on the log behind Mamelodi Sundowns on goal difference at the time of writing. They have a 100% record after 2 games having beaten Chippa United 2-1 at home and Polokwane 3-0 at home.
Head-to-Head
Richards Bay stunned Pirates last season, winning 1-0 at Pirates and the reverse fixture finished goalless at Richards Bay. Under 2.5 goals would have arrived in the last 5 head-to-head meetings between the sides across all competitions.
Betting
Pirates are 7/10 to win the match with Richards Bay priced at 9/2.
Verdict
I think that Pirates will get the job done, but it should be another tight match and I am betting them to win by 1 goal exactly.
BET: Handicap, Orlando Pirates -1, the draw at 12/5

POLOKWANE CITY vs STELLENBOSCH – Click here to bet
Polokwane are currently 5th on the log having taken 6 points from a possible 9. They opened their campaign with back-to-back victories at home to AmaZulu and away to Magesi before going down 3-0 away to Orlando Pirates.
Stellenbosch were second favourites coming into the season, but lost 2-0 at home to Golden Arrows in their opener. They then beat Cape Town City 3-0 at home and currently sit 10th on the log.
Head-to-Head
Polokwane won this fixture 1-0 at home last season, but Stellenbosch got sweet revenge with a 5-0 thumping of Polokwane in the Cape.
Betting
Polokwane are priced at 5/2 with the draw 21/10 and Stellenbosch 27/20.
Verdict
I think that Polokwane are going to be a tough team to beat at home this season and will bet that these teams finish all square.
BET: The draw at 21/10
