AmaZulu vs Stellenbosch – click here to bet
AmaZulu sit 7th on the table with eight points from five matches, showing steady consistency with two wins, two draws, and a single defeat. Their latest result was a 1–1 draw away to Magesi, and they will be banking on home advantage to push them back into the winning column.
Stellenbosch, meanwhile, have endured a sluggish start to the campaign. With just one win, one draw, and three losses from their opening five fixtures, they find themselves down in 13th place. Their most recent outing was a narrow 1–0 home defeat to Sundowns, a result that underlined their struggles at both ends of the pitch, even though they did manage to keep the scoreline respectable.
Head-to-Head
These teams last clashed in the MTN 8 Cup in August 2025, where Stellenbosch edged a 3–2 victory. In league action last season, Stellies dominated the head-to-head, winning 5–0 away before sealing a 1–0 win in the return fixture at home.
Odds: AmaZulu 2.95 | Draw 2.88 | Stellenbosch 2.60
Verdict
AmaZulu have displayed greater stability this season, whereas Stellenbosch remain vulnerable defensively. With home advantage on their side, AmaZulu look a value pick at the current price and have every chance of capitalising.
Bet: AmaZulu to win at 2.95

Marumo Gallants vs Mamelodi Sundowns – click here to bet
Gallants are currently mid-table in 8th with seven points from five matches, having won two, lost two, and drawn one. Their most recent outing was over two weeks ago, when they were held to a 1–1 draw by Polokwane City, and they now face a far sterner test against the champions.
Sundowns continue to set the standard in South African football and sit top of the table with 14 points from six matches. They remain unbeaten with four wins and two draws, scoring nine goals and conceding just once in the process. Their latest performance was a commanding 3–0 home victory over Magesi on Sunday, a result that reinforced their dominance and lifted them back into 1st place after what had been a slower start compared to last season.
Head-to-Head
The most recent meeting between these sides came in February during the 2024/25 Premiership, when Sundowns outclassed Gallants 3–1 away from home. Prior to that, they clashed in the 2024 Carling Knockout Cup, where Sundowns again emerged comfortable 2–0 winners on the road.
Odds: Gallants 8.00 | Draw 4.00 | Sundowns 1.45
Verdict
Sundowns appear far too strong across all areas of the pitch and should have little difficulty extending their unbeaten run. I’m backing them to secure another convincing victory in what looks likely to be a one-sided, high-scoring contest.
Bet: Result and Totals – Sundowns and Over 1.5 Goals at 1.90
Richards Bay vs TS Galaxy – click here to bet
Richards Bay sit 12th on the table with just four points from five matches, having lost three of their outings. Their most recent result was a 0–0 draw away to Siwelele on 29 August, a game that highlighted their ongoing struggles in front of goal.
TS Galaxy, by contrast, have been one of the early-season surprise packages. They currently occupy 4th place with nine points from five games, having won three and lost two. Their latest performance was a confident 3–1 away victory over Orbit College, suggesting they are beginning to build real momentum.
Head-to-Head
These sides met twice last season. Richards Bay edged the first encounter 1–0 at home, while Galaxy hit back in the reverse fixture with a 1–0 win of their own.
Odds: Richards Bay 2.90 | Draw 2.65 | TS Galaxy 2.88
Verdict
Richards Bay’s lack of cutting edge continues to hold them back, while Galaxy look the sharper side in attack and carry far more confidence at this stage of the season. The visitors represent good value and I expect them to come out on top in what should be a closely contested encounter.
Bet: Result and Both Teams to Score – TS Galaxy and No at 3.80.
