Orlando Pirates 6.00
Kaizer Chiefs 10.00
Sekhukhune United 11.00

51.00 and better the balance

Orlando Pirates vs Orbit College (Orlando Stadium, Soweto) –click here to bet

Pirates finally broke their duck last week with a 1–0 win over Stellenbosch after back-to-back defeats to Sekhukhune and Gallants. They’ll look to build momentum against an Orbit side who shocked Siwelele in Matchday 2 a result sandwiched between defeats to AmaZulu and Sekhukhune. With both teams on 3 points, Pirates’ greater quality and home advantage make them big favourites.
Odds: Pirates 1.53 | Draw 3.90 | Orbit College 7.50

Polokwane City vs Durban City (Old Peter Mokaba Stadium, Polokwane) – click here to bet

Polokwane (7th on the log) bounced back from two winless outings with a gritty 1–0 win away to Siwelele last week. Durban City, however, have been one of the surprise packages of the season, unbeaten in three and sitting 4th, with wins over Chippa and Galaxy plus a draw with Arrows. This looks a real test of Durban City’s early form against a stubborn home side.
Odds: Polokwane 2.15 | Draw 2.85 | Durban City 3.90

Richards Bay vs Chippa United (Princess Magogo Stadium, Durban) – click here to bet

It’s bottom vs near-bottom in Durban. Richards Bay prop up the table with three straight losses and only a single goal scored. Chippa are only slightly better, earning a draw with Sundowns on opening day but losing twice since, including a 4–1 hammering at home to TS Galaxy. With both sides leaking goals, this one has “desperation” written all over it.
Odds: Richards Bay 2.35 | Draw 2.80 | Chippa 3.90

Stellenbosch FC vs Marumo Gallants (Danie Craven Stadium, Stellenbosch) – click here to bet

Stellenbosch are struggling badly with just one point from three games and no win yet this season. They have lost to Chiefs and Pirates without scoring and drew 1-1 away to Magesi in-between those losses. Gallants (5th on the log) beat Richards Bay on matchday one and Pirates in their 2nd outing before falling narrowly to AmaZulu last week. They’ll be eyeing this as a chance to bounce back against a brittle home side who are coming off a high of qualifying for the MTN8 final.
Odds: Stellenbosch 1.90 | Draw 3.00 | Gallants 5.50

TS Galaxy vs Siwelele (Mbombela Stadium, Nelspruit) –click here to bet

Galaxy (9th) were excellent in midweek, hammering Chippa 4–1 away after suffering defeats to Sekhukhune and Durban City. Siwelele’s form has been up and down, a strong 3–1 win over Arrows followed by losses to Orbit and Polokwane. Both sit on 3 points and this clash already feels important for keeping pace with the mid-table pack.
Odds: Galaxy 2.15 | Draw 2.88 | Siwelele 3.90

Betting Angles

• Richards Bay vs Chippa United – the draw at 2.80
  Both sides are struggling to score and leaking soft goals. A tight, low-quality clash is expected and the draw looks a big runner.

• TS Galaxy vs Siwelele – Both Teams to Score (Yes) at 2.50
  Galaxy come off a 4–1 win, while Siwelele have both scored and conceded in two of their three games. An open contest looks likely and the price appeals.
• Orlando Pirates vs Orbit College – Correct Score 2–0 at 5.50
  Pirates who knocked Sundowns out of the MTN8 Cup on the weekend, should dominate but haven’t been free-scoring. A solid but workmanlike 2–0 win fits the profile.
