Kaizer Chiefs 21/20 | Draw 43/20 | TS Galaxy 51/20

Struggling Kaizer Chiefs will welcome TS Galaxy at the Peter Mokaba Stadium. The Soweto giants have had an underwhelming 2024 as they managed just two victories.  

Chiefs are coming into this encounter limping after being thrashed by champions-elect Mamelodi Sundowns by 5-1. Coach Cavin Johnson’s troops will be aiming to retain their top eight spot which is under threat.

The Rockets have proven a hard team to beat for Amakhosi as Sead Ramovic’s men won their last meeting against Chiefs by a 1-0 scoreline. Impressively, Galaxy in the last five outings between the teams have won two and drawn three.

Royal AM, on the other hand, have been inconsistent in their last five games winning one, drawing one, and losing three. Tipping both teams to score and Royal Am as the winner here at 9/10 is a safe bet.

SuperSport United 1/1 | Draw 2/1 | Sekhukhune United 26/10

SuperSport United will be looking to keep their winning ways after getting their first win in the league in 2024 against Royal AM. The Tshwane giant’s defence has been poor as they turn to switch off as soon as they get the lead.

Sekhukhune United has shown some good form in their recent games compared to SuperSport. Babina Noko have won their last two meetings against Gavin Hunt’s team which makes them the favourites here.

However, both teams have shown what they can do upfront in terms of scoring goals this will be an interesting match. Back both teams to score at 13/10.
