SATURDAY

SUPERSPORT UNITED v BAROKA

SuperSport are 1 of 3 undefeated sides in the PSL and they currently trail Leaders, Mamelodi Sundowns, by 4 points after 6 matches. They have won 3 and drawn 3, most recently playing a goalless draw away at Chippa United and their last home game was a 2-1 victory over Maritzburg United and that was only their second home game of the season with the previous one being a 3-1 win over Golden Arrows.

Baroka are currently 8^th on the log winning 2 of their 6 matches. Last time out they drew 1-1 at home to Stellenbosch and previously lost 1-0 on the road to AmaZulu. 5 out of 6 games would have seen you collect a profit had you been backing under 2.5 goals.

This fixture finished 1-1 last season with SuperSport winning away at Baroka 3-1.

SuperSport United 9/10

Draw 9/4

Baroka 15/4

Suggested Bet: SuperSport win at 9/10

SuperSport have looked strong in both their home matches and I expect them to beat a Baroka side that is yet to take a point on the road.

KAIZER CHIEFS v CHIPPA UNITED

You will notice that I didn’t mention Kaizer Chiefs in the Outright Betting and that is because they are sitting down in 12^th on the table with just 1 win in their opening 6 games. Last time out they drew 1-1 away at AmaZulu and their last home game was a 4-1 home defeat to Royal AM.

Things aren’t going any better for Chippa United who sit 1 position and 1 point below them in 13^th having won their opening game against Sekhukhune, but from then taking just 2 points from a possible 15. They drew 0-0 with SuperSport United at home last time out and they have lost both their away matches.

Kaizer Chiefs 12/10

Draw 21/10

Chippa United 11/4

Suggested Bet: Kaizer Chiefs win at 12/10

Chiefs have burned me quite a few times this season, but surely they can get the win here against a Chippa United side that really looks to be battling this season. Chiefs have a good head-to-head record over Chippa winning 3 of their last 4 matches although Chippa United did win this fixture 1-0 last season.

SUNDAY

SWALLOWS v STELLENBOSCH

Swallows are battling this season with just 1 win in their opening 6 games and they currently sit 14^th on the log. Last time out they were hammered 3-0 away by Sundowns and in their last two home games they played a goalless draw against Cape Town City and lost 3-0 to SuperSport United. Their lone win this season did come at home, 1-0 against Royal AM in their opening match of the season.

Stellenbosch are 4^th on the log and are undefeated with 3 wins and 3 draws in their opening 6 games. They drew 1-1 away at Baroka last time out and 4 of their 6 matches have been away from home with 3 draws and a victory.

Swallows 15/10

Draw 2/1

Stellenbosch 22/10

Suggested Bet: Stellenbosch win at 22/10

Swallows seem to be a team in total disarray at the moment and a very solid Stellenbosch side can keep their early season momentum going with a victory.
