DSTV Premiership: 13th May 2023
Whilst the title race in the DSTV Premiership has very much come to an end, there is still plenty to play for at the bottom of the table. The Mamelodi Sundowns had wrapped up the league title a fair while ago but there is a fair bit to play for behind them too. Orlando Pirates and SuperSport United have pulled away from Kaiser Chiefs a little bit but there is plenty still on the line going into the last couple of fixtures.
Here is a rundown of some of the key games to look out for in the DSTV Premiership this week:
Cape Town City vs Richards Bay
Match Winner Odds:
Cape Town City
Sitting in 5th place has been an excellent return for Cape Town City, who have been impressive throughout the campaign so far. Catching the bigger names ahead of them is now impossible but they will want to finish the season as strongly as possible.
Richards Bay
Richards Bay have endured a spectacular fall from grace in recent weeks, slipping to 9th place in the table, into the relegation scrap. They need a point from this one to be mathematically safe and are looking over their shoulders somewhat.
Match Best Bet:
Confidence looks relatively low in both camps, and this could be an attritional one.
Under 2.5 goals in the game – 11/20
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 – 5/2
Score Prediction:
Cape Town City 1 – 1 Richards Bay – 11/2
Maritzburg United vs Stellenbosch
Match Winner Odds:
Maritzburg United
With just two games to play, Maritzburg United find themselves six points adrift of safety at the foot of the table, needing a minor miracle to stay in the DSTV Premiership. It’s a big ask but they will be desperate to put in a strong showing here.
Stellenbosch
It has been a solid season for Stellenbosch who are sat in 6th place in the table, unbeaten in their last 3 games. Not having much to play for could catch them out here but they are a strong side, who play some good football at times.
Match Best Bet:
This should be a very good game, with goals on the cards.
Both teams to score – YES – 19/20
Result Prediction:
This should be a really good game, with so much at stake but Stellenbosch are a good side, and they should pick up the win here.
Stellenbosch to win the match – 21/10
Score Prediction:
Maritzburg United 1 – 2 Stellenbosch – 11/1
SuperSport United vs Kaizer Chiefs
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 can still catch Orlando Pirates with a couple of wins to finish the campaign.
Kaizer Chiefs
Two losses from the last three games played has seen Kaizer Chiefs drop out of the top 2 reckoning somewhat but a result here would give them a sniff. They start as the underdogs here and they will relish playing without pressure.
Match Best Bet:
This could be an open game, with goals on the cards.
Over 2.5 goals in the game – 27/20
Result Prediction:
Kaizer Chiefs won’t give this one up but SuperSport United need the points and should pick up a solid home win here.
SuperSport United to win the match – 11/10
Score Prediction:
SuperSport United 2 – 1 Kaizer Chiefs – 17/2
