Sports punters are in for a busy couple of days and we take a closer look in our Weekend Betting Diary.
FOOTBALL
There is plenty of football to keep punters entertained this weekend including the Absa Premiership where leaders Kaizer Chiefs are away at Leopards. Chiefs are currently 9 points clear at the top of the log and they face a Leopard side sitting just 1 place off the bottom of the table having lost 4 matches in a row.
The home team are 9/1 with the draw 4/1 and Chiefs are 1/3 shots and if you think they can win by more than a goal you can get even money the (-1) handicap.

It is a big weekend in the EPL and the first game on Saturday sees in form Watford taking on Tottenham.
Watford are far from out of danger, but they have climbed out of the relegation zone for the first time this season after an impressive run that has seen them win 4 and draw 1 of their last 5 games.
Tottenham have lost 3 of their last 5 including their last 2 in succession and the pressure is on Mourinho to get a result.
Tottenham are 5/4 favourites with Watford 22/10 and the draw 51/20 and we think Watford have a strong chance of getting a point out of this one.

Sunday’s big game features Liverpool against Manchester United and I am not sure when the last time one of these sides has started at 4/11 favourites, but that is what high-flying Liverpool are, the draw is 4/1 and Manchester United are 15/2. We are expecting a stout defensive effort from United and the under 2.5 goals at 23/20 could appeal as a value bet.

RUGBY
The European Champions Cup group stages conclude this weekend and there are a few cracking fixtures and none less than Saracens up against Racing on Sunday.
Racing are currently top of the log and Saracens can still qualify, but the club is in something of a mess and could even face automatic relegation due to their salary cap breaches.
Local fans will get their first taste of the Super Rugby teams on Sunday with the Super Hero Sunday and here we have the Sharks 19/20 against the Stormers in a choice game while the Lions are 15/20 to beat the Bulls. More markets closer to kick-off

HORSE RACING
Local horse racing takes place at Turffontein and Kenilworth on Saturday with Turffontein a 9 race card starting at 12:45 and finishing at 17:30.
Our value for the bet of the day comes in Race No. 6, Horse No. 6, Odd Rob currently priced at 9/1 and we are hoping this 8 year old can turn back the clock.

Kenilworth gets going at 13:00 with the 8th and final race at 17:15.
The Pick Six looks fairly challenging, but a possible banker could be Springisintheair, Horse No. 2 in the 6th Race currently priced at 14/10.
