PSL fans have midweek action to look forward to and we look at three of these games taking place on Wednesday from a betting angle.
MAMELODI SUNDOWNS vs RICHARDS BAY – Click here to bet
Mamelodi Sundowns have been excellent again this season, cementing their number 1 spot on the log and winning 19 of their 23 fixtures, with 1 draw and 3 losses.
They have conceded just 14 goals in 23 matches.
The last time they played, due to their two most recent matches being postponed was against Orlando Pirates on the 16th of March, where they suffered a 2-1 defeat on opposition soil.
Richards Bay have had an inconsistent run this season and out of their 25 games they have won just 7. They are in 13th place on the table with a goal difference of -7.
Their recent form has seen them lose 3 and win 2 of their last 5 games, with the latest being a 1-0 home victory against Cape Town City in mid April.
Head-to-Head
Sundowns won 2-0 away from home in December in the reverse fixture. Prior to this they clashed twice in the 2023/2024 season where Sundowns won both games 1-0.
Betting and Verdict
Sundowns are trading at 1.40 with Richards Bay 9.50 and the draw 4.30.
I believe that Sundowns will simply be too good for Richards Bay and they will beat them, while restricting them from finding the back of the net.
BET: Result and Both Teams to Score – Sundowns and No at 1.80
ORLANDO PIRATES vs SEKHUKHUNE UNITED – Click here to bet
Orlando Pirates remain in 2nd on the log after 20 games, currently 5 points ahead of Sekhukhune who sit 3rd. They have had a solid season, winning 15, drawing 1 and losing 4 of their encounters.
They are unbeaten across their last 4 matchup’s, with the last game resulting in a 1-0 triumph over Polokwane City on the road
Sekhukhune have claimed back the 3rd spot overall after their most recent match and they are 3 points ahead of Stellenbosch in 4th. They have hit the pitch 25 times this season, 12 and drawing 5.
They met with TS Galaxy on the weekend away from home in a well contested game that ended 1-1 after 90 minutes of play.
Head-to-Head
The last time these sides went head-to-head was in February when Orlando Pirates edged a 2-1 win on the road. Last season the first game was won 1-0 by Orlando Pirates at home and the second game was won 2-1 by Sekhukhune with their supporters cheering them on.
Betting and Verdict
Orlando Pirates are favourites at 1.44 with Sekhukhune at 8.00 and the draw is 4.30.
I believe that this will be a tighter contest then the betting odds predict, and Sekhukhune will fight hard to force Pirates into a draw.

STELLENBOSCH vs CHIPPA UNITED – Click here to bet
Stellenbosch have had a good season and after winning 10 of their 23 games, with 8 draws and 5 losses, they are in 4th on the log.
Their home form this season has been inconsistent, and they have only win 4 of 12 matches in front of their own fans.
The last time they played was on the 15th of April where they beat AmaZulu 1-0 on home turf.
Chippa United are placed in 9th overall with a goal difference of +3. They have won 8 and drawn 6 of their 23 fixtures.
Their recent performances have looked good however, and they have not lost in 4 fixtures, winning 2 and losing 2, with the most recent concluding in an uneventful 0-0 draw to Kaizer Chiefs at home.
Head-to-Head
These sides encountered each other twice in the 23/24 season and after a 0-0 draw in the first match, the second game also saw the teams sharing the spoils with the scoreboard showing 1-1 in Stellenbosch. The last time they met was in October 2024 and Stellenbosch dominated the match and won 2-0 on the road.
Betting and Verdict
Stellenbosch are priced at 1.75, Chippa United are 5.50 with the draw at 3.40.
Although Stellenbosch home form has been patchy I think they will be too strong for Chippa and I am backing them to win by exactly 1 goal.
BET: Handicap, Stellenbosch -1 the draw at 3.38
