We take a look at 2 Premiership fixtures taking place on Wednesday and suggest a play in each game.
GOLDEN ARROWS vs ORLANDO PIRATES – Click here to bet
Golden Arrows have lacked consistency this season and after 15 matches they sit in 10th overall after winning, drawing and losing 5 games respectively.
They have battled to capitalise on home soil and after 7 low scoring games they hold an aggregate of 6 goals for and 5 goals against.
Their most recent fixture was scheduled for the 9th of February however it was postponed. Prior to that they took on Cape Town City away from home and drew 1-1.
Orlando Pirates have had a solid season and they have maintained their 2nd position on the log after winning 11 and losing 3 of their 14 matches.
They have played 6 matches on the road winning 4 and losing 2.
The last time they were in action was on the 8th of February when they were hosted by Sundowns who dominated the match and beat Pirates 4-1.
Head-to-Head
These teams encountered one another twice in the league last season where the first match was clinched by Pirates with a scoreline of 2-1 away from home. The second and most recent match was hosted by Pirates who put on a show with a 7-1 victory.
Betting and Verdict
Pirates are trading at 1.60 for the win, with the draw at 3.80 and Arrows priced at 6.50.
I am betting that just like in their recent meetings, Pirates will be on top of things and dominate the match winning without a goal scored from Arrows.

MARUMO GALLANTS vs MAMELODI SUNDOWNS – Click here to bet
Marumo Gallants are still in the back end of the table after 16 matches, currently in 14th and battling to break away from the relegation zone.
Their home form has been considerably better than their away form and of their 6 total matches played, they have won 3, drawn 2 and lost only 1. It is worth noting that they have not lost across their last 5 home fixtures.
They took on AmaZulu a couple of weeks back and after being unable to find the back of the net they lost the game 2-0 in front of an opposition crowd.
Mamelodi Sundowns have had a typically good run this season and they currently sit 9 points ahead of Pirates on the log.
Sundowns have been undefeated at home, with both of their losses being on opposition turf although they have also won 6 times on their travels.
Their most recent clash concluded in a shock defeat against TS Galaxy away in a match that saw the odds on title favourites lose 1-0.
Head-to-Head
Sundowns have won their last 5 matches against Maruma Gallants and last season in the league they won this fixture 2-0.
Betting and Verdict
Sundowns are favourites at 1.44 with the draw at 4.30 and Marumo are priced at 9.00 for a major upset win.
I think that Sundowns will bounce back strong from the recent upset defeat and they will win this by more than a goal.
BET: Handicap Sundowns -1.5 goals at 2.25
