Orlando Pirates 8/10 Draw 2.05/1 Stellenbosch FC 42/10
Despite having Thabo Moloisane red carded on 32 minutes Ismael Toure gave Stellies the lead in the first leg at Athlone but defending MTN8 champions Pirates hit back with a 65th minute equalizer from Zakhele Lepasa and in injury time Deon Hotto made it 2-1 and that's the way it finished.
In the quarter finals Pirates thrashed Sekhukhune 5-0 with Lepasa scoring a hat trick. Stellies quarter final clash away to Supersport failed to produce a goal in regulation time and Andre De Jong popped up in extra time to give them a 1-0 win.
In the DSTV Prem Pirates have played just the 5 league games, the first of which saw them go down 1-0 away to Stellenbosch. The Bucs now have a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats for 7 points and they are below half way on the log but with games in hand. Stellies also have 7 points but they have played 7 matches and they have only taken 1 point from their last 4 league games.
The Verdict:
Sundowns to beat Chiefs and Pirates to beat Stellies would be the form choices and the double for both those sides to win in regulation time works out at 23/10
Bets: Sundowns and Pirates win double (90 minutes) 23/10 at BoyleSports
