There are 2 DSTV Premiership matches taking place on Sunday and we take a look at each of them from a betting angle.
A reminder that the PSL Outright Betting will be updated throughout the season and you can click here for the link with the current betting.
MARUMO GALLANTS v SWALLOWS
Marumo Gallants are currently sitting bottom of the table on 4 points from 5 matches. They drew their opening 4 games before losing 1-0 away at Pirates last time out. Their two home games this season have been a 1-1 draw at home to Arrows and a goalless draw at home to Stellenbosch. 80% of their matches have failed to reach the 3 goal mark.
Swallows are 7th on the table with 7 points from their 5 games. They have won 2, lost 2 and drawn 1 match this season. One of their victories came last time out 2-1 at home to Sekhukhune and on the road this season they have had a goalless draw at Maritzburg and a 1-0 loss to Pirates so they are still to score a goal on their travels.
Last season these sides played to a 1-1 draw in this fixture and Gallants beat Swallows 1-0 away from home.

Marumo Gallants 16/10
Draw 18/10
Swallows 85/40
Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals at 37/20
I am going to suggest that there is some value in this price despite the fact that the majority of Marumo Gallants matches have been low scoring. This is because 3 of the 5 Swallows matches have had goals in them, 2 of those games have had 5 goals scored. I certainly wouldn’t be suggesting this bet if it was anything close to even money, but as close to 2/1 there must be some value there.
MARITZBURG UNITED v ORLANDO PIRATES
Maritzburg United are 10th on the table heading into the weekend and last time out lost 1-0 away at Royal AM. Looking at their 3 home matches this season they have beaten Chippa United and drawn to Swallows and Sekhukhune.
They face an Orlando Pirates side that is currently top of the table with 11 points from 6 matches although by the time this match is played any number of teams could have overtaken them. Pirates matches averaged just 1 goal each this season and all 6 of their games have seen 2 goals or less scored. Their most recent match was a 1-0 victory over Marumo Gallants and looking at their away record they had a goalless draw at SuperSport, a 1-0 win over Royal AM and a 1-1 draw with Stellenbosch.

Maritzburg United 28/10
Draw 18/10
Orlando Pirates 13/10
Suggested Bet: Pirates win at 13/10
It is no surprise to see over 2.5 goals trading at 21/10 here, but the way Pirates have been playing I am expecting them to sneak a narrow low scoring win.
