DSTV Premiership: 21st – 24th April 2023
The Mamelodi Sundowns have had way too much in the tank for all before them in the DSTV Premiership once again this season but as the campaign meanders towards its end, there is still lots to play for in the South African Premiership. SuperSport United, Kaiser Chiefs and Orlando Pirates are all embroiled in a tight battle for 2nd place, whilst at the bottom of the pile Gallants, Swallows, Chippa United and Maritzburg United have serious work to do, in order to pull away from trouble.
Here is a rundown of some of the key games to look out for in the DSTV Premiership this week:
Maritzburg United vs Richards Bay
Match Winner Odds:
Maritzburg United
It has broadly been a DSTV Premiership campaign to forget for Maritzburg United, who are currently at the bottom of the table. One win in their last 5 is representative of a side struggling for confidence and form and they know they need a result here.
Richards Bay
Richards Bay have endured a spectacular fall from grace in recent weeks, slipping to 9th place in the table following 5 consecutive defeats. They don’t have much to play for and will need to guard against complacency here.
Match Best Bet:
Confidence looks relatively low in both camps, and this could be an attritional one.
Under 2.5 goals in the game – 9/20
Result Prediction:
This will be a really tight game, with neither side in any sort of form and a draw could well be on the cards.
The match to finish as a draw – 39/20
Score Prediction:
Maritzburg United 1 – 1 Richards Bay – 5/1
Orlando Pirates vs Cape Town City
Match Winner Odds:
Orlando Pirates
Sitting in 3rd, Orlando Pirates haven’t had the season they may have hoped for, but recent showings have certainly been more positive. They won their last 4 and they should be raring to go for this one.
Cape Town City
Unbeaten in their last 5 games, Cape Town City sit in 5th place in the table, hoping to crack the sides sat in 2nd to 4th above them. They will play without fear here and they certainly have the tools to hurt the Orlando Pirates.
Match Best Bet:
This should be a very good game, with goals on the cards.
Both teams to score – YES – 9/10
Result Prediction:
This should be a really good game but with Orlando Pirates having won their last four, confidence should be high in the camp.
Orlando Pirates to win the match – 17/20
Score Prediction:
Orlando Pirates 2 – 1 Cape Town City – 12/1
SuperSport United vs AmaZulu FC
Match Winner Odds:
SuperSport United
With Mamelodi Sundowns too far away in the league table, SuperSport United are focusing on a top 2 finish. Recent results haven’t been too impressive, but they have plenty in the tank should they need it.
AmaZulu FC
12th in the table is an average return for AmaZulu FC, who have been on a real rollercoaster as the season has developed. They have only won one of their last 5 and could be fearing the worst in this one.
Match Best Bet:
This could be an open game, with goals on the cards.
Over 2.5 goals in the game – 7/10
Result Prediction:
AmaZulu won’t give this one up but SuperSport United need the points and should pick up a comprehensive win here.
SuperSport United to win the match – 1/3
Score Prediction:
SuperSport United 3 – 1 AmaZulu FC – 14/1
