MAMELODI SUNDOWNS vs CAPE TOWN CITY – Click here to bet
Sundowns have fallen to 2nd place on the log behind Orlando Pirates after their 1st loss of the season.
They took on Polokwane City away from home on Sunday and they lacked their usual cohesion eventually going down to an 82nd winner from the home team.
Cape Town City seem to improving however they still sit in 12th place on the table with 2 draws, 1 loss and 1 win.
They played their most recent match on Sunday the 27th where they were 1.55 favourites at home against Magesi. Neither side could take the initiative and the match concluded in a 0-0 draw.
Head-to-Head
These sides met twice last season, the first match ended in a 0-0 draw on Cape Town City ground, the second match was played in front of Sundowns supporters, however Cape Town City, as massive underdogs still won the match 1-0 and they are now undefeated in their last 3 matches against Sundowns
Verdict
I think that Sundowns will bounce back strongly from their loss and put up a good performance against Cape Town City, winning to 0.

ROYAL AM vs POLOKWANE CITY – Click here to bet
Royal AM have had a solid start to the season and they are in 6th on the table after drawing 3, losing 1 and winning 1 of their 5 matches.
Their most recent match was played on Saturday the 26th of October against Sekhukhune. The match was held on Royal AM home turf, and they performed well in front of their fans winning 2-0.
Polokwane City have had a brilliant start to their campaign this season and they are currently in 4th on the table, on the same number of points as 3rd place Chippa. They have gained 10 points on the board after winning 3, drawing 1 and losing just 1 match to date.
Their last match as mentioned above was against Sundowns where they put up a huge fight to claim their 1-0 victory against the Champions who were unbeaten at the time.
Head-to-Head
Last season these sides clashed on 2 occasions, with the first match going the way of Polokwane City who won 1-0 at home. Royal AM then hosted Polokwane for the 2nd fixture, which was a high scoring match that Royal AM clinched 3-2 in the end.
Verdict
The bookies can barely split these sides in the betting but I think City will be feeling confident after their win over Sundowns and they can pick up a valuable 3 points on the road.
BET: Polokwane City win at 2.80
GOLDEN ARROWS vs SUPERSPORT UNITED – Click here to bet
Golden Arrows won their first 2 matches but since then, their form has declined rapidly and they have lost the next games, which puts them in 10th on the log.
Their most recent match saw Arrows encounter Chippa United on the road last Saturday. The match was dominated by Chippa, with Golden Arrows not beating the keeper once while conceding 2 goals.
SuperSport United sit in 8th place overall after their 5 fixtures. They have been unable to gain consistent winning form so far, winning 2, losing 2 and drawing 1 of their games.
They took on Kaizer Chiefs at home in their latest match on Saturday. SuperSport were slight underdogs, according to betting odds, but they scored just before the halftime break and held on for the win.
Head-to-Head
These sides played twice in the 23/24 season and the first match saw SuperSport get embarrassed 3-0 at home despite starting 1.50 favourites. The second match was tightly contested with goals from both sides, which resulted in a 2-2 draw in Golden Arrows home stadium.
Verdict
SuperSport are the favourites at 2.10 but with both teams battling to score goals I make the draw a big runner.
BET: Draw at 3.20
