Mamelodi Sundowns v AmaZulu
Mamelodi Sundowns are currently third on the table with seven points from a possible nine.
They opened their campaign with a 3-2 away victory over TS Galaxy before being held to a 1-1 draw by Kaizer Chiefs in a match where they had to come from behind. Sundowns then recorded a 2-0 home victory over Marumo Gallants.
Their latest action came in the MTN8 at the weekend, where they suffered a 1-0 home defeat to Golden Arrows in the quarterfinals.
AmaZulu are fourth on the log and have also collected seven points from the opening nine available.
They began their campaign with a 1-0 victory over Stellenbosch before drawing 1-1 at home with defending champions Orlando Pirates. AmaZulu then beat Siwelele 2-0 in their latest league outing, and they look like they could be genuine title contenders this season.
Head-to-Head
Mamelodi Sundowns completed the league double over AmaZulu last season, winning 1-0 on the road and 2-0 at home.
Sundowns have now won six consecutive league matches against AmaZulu without conceding a goal.

Mamelodi Sundowns 1.26
Draw 6.00
AmaZulu 13.00
Verdict
There have been a few signs that Mamelodi Sundowns may not be quite as dominant as they were in the past, while I make AmaZulu genuine dark horses for the title.
At the current odds, backing AmaZulu to get something out of this match offers decent value, and I am going with an Asian handicap play.
BET: Asian Handicap – AmaZulu +0.5 Goals at 3.85

Richards Bay v Kaizer Chiefs
Richards Bay are currently 11th on the table and remain in search of their first victory after three matches.
They suffered a 2-1 home defeat to Polokwane City in their opening match before recording consecutive 1-1 away draws against Chippa United and Durban City.
Both teams have found the back of the net in all three of Richards Bay’s matches this season.
Kaizer Chiefs are second on the table with seven points from their opening three encounters.
They began their campaign with a 3-1 victory over newly promoted Kruger United before beating Sekhukhune United 2-0 at home. Chiefs then played out a 1-1 draw with Mamelodi Sundowns in their latest league outing.
Head-to-Head
The home team has dominated this fixture in recent seasons. Richards Bay won their home encounter last season, while Kaizer Chiefs recorded a 1-0 victory in the reverse fixture.
The last six meetings between the sides have all been won by the home team, with five of those six matches decided by exactly one goal.

Richards Bay 4.25
Draw 3.00
Kaizer Chiefs 2.15
Verdict
I fancied Richards Bay to have a strong season, so their start has been disappointing. At the same time, I am still not convinced that Kaizer Chiefs can be relied upon at their current price.
The home team has an excellent recent record in this fixture, but I am going to suggest that there will be nothing separating the sides after 90 minutes.
BET: Draw at 3.00
