Premiership fixtures continue on Wednesday the 18th of September with 3 games taking place and we look at the games from a betting perspective and share our plays.
SEKHUKHUNE vs MAGESI FC – Click here to bet
Sekhukhune are yet to play a game this season and their most recent match was in the CAF Confederation Cup, where they met with CD Lunda Sul and were beaten 1-0. Prior to that they played in the MTN 8 Cup and were knocked out in their first match after a 1-0 loss to Cape Town City.
Magesi FC’s last action took place in the Motsepe Foundation Championship, where they topped the table, winning 16, drawing 9 and losing just 5 matches. They were on good form throughout the tournament and ended strong, only losing 1 of their last 5 matches.
Head-to-Head
These sides have never met before.
PREDICTION
Many of Sekhukhune’s matches have been low scoring games, while Magesi usually have 2 goals or more to their name when the whistle blows albeit in a lower league. Sekhukhune should get the job done against the newcomers and I am backing them to win in a low scoring encounter.

ORLANDO PIRATES vs CHIPPA UNITED – Click here to bet
Orlando Pirates started their MTN 8 Cup campaign well with a 3-1 win of SuperSport. Thereafter they played Cape Town City in the Semi-Final legs of the MTN Cup and after drawing the first leg 1-1, they beat City 2-0 in the second leg to advance to the Finals which are scheduled for early October.
Chippa United’s most recent competitive encounters took place in last seasons Premier League, where they finished in 12th place, winning 8, drawing 10 and losing 12 matches. Their form towards the end of the season was shocking and they were unable to pick up a single win across their last 6 matches, scoring just 4 goals with 11 goals scored against them.
Head-to-Head
These sides have clashed twice already this year, once in the Premier League and once in the Nedbank Cup with Pirates winning both by 2 goal margins.
PREDICTION
Pirates should be too strong and are worthy favourites at 1.33 and I am going to back them to win this by 2 goals or more.
BET: Handicap Pirates -1.5 at 2.15
STELLENBOSCH FC v GOLDEN ARROWS – Click here to bet
Stellenbosch have been on top form lately, winning their last 6 encounters on the trot. They recently played TS Galaxy in the MTN 8 Cup Quarters and won 3-2. They played Mamelodi Sundown’s twice in the Semi-Finals of the MTN Cup and won 1-0 on both occasions to reach the final. Their most recent match was in the CAF Cup against AS Vita Club which they won 2-0.
Golden Arrows played their last competitive fixtures in last season of the Premier League where they placed 9th, winning 9, drawing 9 and losing 12 of their 30 matches. They finished their season strong, losing just 1 of their last 5 matches. A notable performance was in their final match where they beat AmaZulu 3-0.
Head-to-Head
These two teams met twice in last seasons Premier League where the first match was drawn 0-0 and the second match saw Stellenbosch win 3-0 at home in May this year.
PREDICTION
I think that Stellenbosch will be strong on the night but the 1.55 is a bit short for my pocket and I am going to back them to win by 2 goals exactly.
BET: Winning Margin – Stellenbosch by 2 Goals at 4.30
