SEKHUKHUNE UNITED vs ORLANDO PIRATES – Click here to bet
Sekhukhune have performed well in the league this season and they are currently in 4th overall after 14 games.
Their home form has been superb and of their 7 fixtures they have won 5, drawn 1 and lost 1. Their most recent fixture took place on Saturday the 1st of February when they met with Stellenbosch away from home and drew 1-1.
Orlando Pirates have remained in 2nd place on the log for the duration of the season and after 12 games they are 6 points behind Sundowns who are in 1st.
They have been solid away from home despite not playing many matches on the road and of their 4 meetings they have won 3, losing just 1.
The last time they took to the field was on Saturday against Kaizer Chiefs where they won 1-0 in front of a massive derby crowd.
Head-to-Head
These two sides encountered one another twice in the 23/24 league where the first match was hosted and won 1-0 by Pirates. The second match went the way of Sekhukhune who defeated Pirates 2-1.
Verdict
I think that although Sekhukhune picked up a win against Pirates last time they met, Pirates are in stronger form this year and they will take the win, but only just. Pirates are 1.85 for the win with the draw 3.30 and Sekhukhune 5.00.
I am going to back Pirates to win by exactly 1 goal.
BET: Handicap, Pirates -1 goal the draw at 3.40 – if you want a bigger bet then Pirates to win at 1.85

SUPERSPORT UNITED vs MAMELODI SUNDOWNS – Click here to bet
SuperSport United have struggled to build momentum this season, winning 4, drawing 4 and losing 7 of their matches which puts them in 11th on the table.
They have been on a terrible run across their last three clashes, losing all 3 with two of them being played at home.
They met with AmaZulu on Saturday in a fixture which concluded in a 2-1 loss away from.
Mamelodi Sundowns have had a near perfect season, and they have sat in 1st place on the log from the get-go winning 12 and losing just 1 game.
They are a well-oiled machine and with both their attack and defence firing they are currently on an 8-match winning streak.
They hosted Golden Arrows on Sunday, and the match was a one-sided, dominant affair that Sundowns won 4-0.
Head-to-Head
They met twice in the league last season with Sundowns claiming a 2-0 win in the 1st match between these 2 Tshwane giants and the second match resulted in a 1-1 draw at Loftus Versfeld. Their most recent fixture was played in September where Sundowns claimed a 2-0 victory.
Verdict
Sundowns will be up for this one, especially with Pirates still a threat in the title race. They are 1.75 for the win but I am going to inflate the price backing them to win to nil.
BET: Result and Both Teams to Score – Sundowns and No at 2.38
