FRIDAY
Maritzburg United v Kaizer Chiefs – Click here to bet
Maritzburg United currently sit second from bottom in the PSL and they are coming off a draw and a loss in the League.
Kaizer Chiefs are currently sitting 5th on the log and recently broke a losing streak with a home victory over Royal AM followed by a draw at TS Galaxy.
These sides met in the League earlier this season with Chiefs winning 3-0 and their last Cup encounter was in a MTN 8 Cup in 2020 with Chiefs winning 2-1.
Kaizer Chiefs are showing signs of returning to form and they are a club with proven Cup pedigree, taking them to bag the win in 90 minutes
Suggested Bet: Kaizer Chiefs win at 8/10
SATURDAY
Stellenbosch v Swallows – Click here to bet
Stellenbosch currently sit 12th in the League where they have won their last two games, away at Chippa United and at home to Cape Town City. They face a Swallows side sitting 14th on the log with just 1 defeat in their last 5 games in the PSL. Swallows last game was a valuable 3 pointer at home to Richards Bay where they won 1-0.
Swallows last 10 games have all delivered profits had you backed under 2.5 goals, but Stellenbosch games have been relatively high scoring of late, the total of 13 goals in their last 3 matches.
The over 2.5 goal markets are not out yet, but I expect to get about 18/10 on this bet, for now though a straight win on Stellenbosch.
Suggested Bet: Stellenbosch win at 33/20
Cape Town All Stars v Orlando Pirates – Click here to bet
Cape Town All Stars ply their trade in the Motsepe Foundation Championship where they are currently sitting in 6th position. They had to qualify for the Round of 32 and comfortably saw off Tshakhuma 7-1 at home.
Pirates are currently 4th on the log, but saw a 3 match winning streak ended last time out when they lost 1-0 at home to Mamelodi Sundowns. That loss was unexpected given Sundowns form this season and prior to that they certainly looked in good nick with victories over Marumo Gallants, Stellenbosch and Golden Arrows.
Pirates are predictably short for this game at 4/11 to win and you can get 8/1 on the outsiders, Cape Town All Stars. Personally I think Pirates will win this by more than a goal and I am waiting for the handicap markets to come out before placing my bet.
Suggested Bet: Orlando Pirates -1.5 goals at around 9/10 or 1/1
SUNDAY
Cape Town City v Royal AM – Click here to bet
This is an all PSL clash and Cape Town City are currently sitting 11th on the log and have suffered back-to-back defeats against SuperSport United and Stellenbosch both on the road. They have won their last 2 home games in the League including a 2-1 win over Pirates back in January.
Royal AM are currently 9th on the log and broke a 3 match run without a victory when they beat Golden arrows 2-1 on the road last time out.
These sides met earlier in the season in the League with Cape Town City winning 2-1 at home. The last 3 games between these sides have seen both teams find the back of the net and I expect this to be about 13/10 when the Exotic Markets come out.
Suggested Bet: Both teams to score, YES, at around 13/10
