GOLDEN ARROWS vs MAMELODI SUNDOWNS – Click here to bet
Golden Arrows have battled to execute this season which leaves them in 11th on the log after 16 games played, currently on 20 points with a goal difference of -5.
Their recent home form has been solid but not spectacular and they have won 1 and drawn 3 of their last 5 games with 1 loss.
Momentum has been an issue due to having some games postponed and their last game against TS Galaxy resulted in a 2-0 defeat away from home.
Mamelodi Sundowns have maintained their excellent form and held onto a significant gap over Pirates who are 2nd overall, 18 points behind but with 4 games in hand. They have played 20 matches, winning 18 and losing just 2.
They are currently on a 4-game winning streak, dominating their most recent matches except their latest one against Kaizer Chiefs on Saturday where they clinched a narrow 1-0 win on home ground.
Head-to-Head
These sides met in the Carling Knockout Cup 2024 where Sundowns hammered Arrows 5-0 at home to advance to the next round. Their latest clash occurred earlier on in the league season where Sundowns won a one-sided affair 4-0 in front of their own supporters.
Betting and Verdict
Sundowns are favourites at 1.45 with the draw 4.20 and Arrows trading at 7.00
Sundowns clearly have intent to wrap up this league title early and I will be backing them to win this game by more than 1 goal.
BET: Handicap Sundowns -1.5 at 2.35

CHIPPA UNITED vs ORLANDO PIRATES – Click here to bet
Chippa have had a decent campaign this season although they have struggled to convert opportunities into wins. They are in 9th on the table 1 point ahead of Cape Town City in 10th after 18 matches.
They have been decent at home, winning 4, drawing 2 and losing 3 of their matches on home soil.
Their most recent fixture was held on the 1st of March when they met with Richards Bay and with neither team scoring, they drew 0-0 on the road.
Orlando Pirates have held onto 2nd overall despite their decline in form across their last few matches. They have played 16 games, winning 12 and losing 4 which leaves them 5 points ahead of Sekhukhune in 3rd.
They have struggled in their 3 most recent matches, losing 2 and winning 1. Their last loss came when they stepped on the pitch against Marumo Gallants on Saturday where they went down 2-0 away from home.
Head-to-Head
These sides went head-to-head in the back end of the 23/24 season where Pirates picked up a 2-0 home victory. Their most recent encounter was earlier this season where Pirates edged a 2-1 triumph in front of a home crowd.
Betting and Verdict
Orlando Pirates are priced at 1.57 with the draw at 3.75 and Chippa at 6.00.
Pirates are really battling at the moment and they look too short in the betting based on current form. I am betting on Chippa to get something out of this game.
BET: Handicap: Chippa United +0.5 goals at 2.50
