There is a lone DSTV Premiership match taking place on Tuesday afternoon and we take a look at the game from a betting angle.
SUNDOWNS
Mamelodi Sundowns have successfully defended their title and they are currently 15 points clear of SuperSport United at the top of the table having played a game less.
With the job done, their form has dipped in recent times and although still unbeaten in the League since September of 2022, they have drawn 4 of their last 5 matches. Their most recent action was away at Golden Arrows where the game finished 1-1 and before that they drew 0-0 at Swallows and also played a goalless draw out, at home to Cape Town City.
Sundowns have lost only 1 of 13 home matches this season and 5 of those 13 games have delivered you a profit had you backed over 2.5 goals.
RICHARDS BAY
Richards Bay are currently 10th on the log and it wasn’t that long ago they were the closest rivals to Sundowns. They haven't won in their last 10 matches and a 1-1 draw away to Maritzburg United last time out broke their 7 match losing streak.
They have won 5 and drawn 4 of their 13 away matches this season and while overall not a bad stat, they have only taken 2 points from the last 15 they have played for on the road. Only 3 of the 13 Richards Bay away games have reached the 3 goal mark.

Mamelodi Sundowns 7/20
Draw 15/4
Richards Bay 17/2
Sundowns are predictably short for this game and while I have been taking them on of late I can’t bring myself to do it against a Richards Bay side that really seems to be battling. At the same time Sundowns give me the impression that they are happy just to keep things tight and see out the end of the season.
I can see something like a 2-0 or 3-0 Sundowns victory and for those looking at Correct Score Bets those are trading at 15/4 and 6/1 respectively, but I am going to take a punt that we get either 2 or 3 goals in this game.
Suggested Bet: Goal Range, 2-3 at 10/11
