To Win (90 Min)
Chiefs 7/10
Swallows 23/10
Draw 4/1
There is no doubt that the AmaKhosi are most definitely back.
Their star-studded team are an intimidating bunch for most PSL sides, and with their focus solely on the league for now, I foresee a strong run over the next few weeks.
Saturday’s MTN8 Soweto Derby can be neglected in terms of form; I can’t see it being too much of a stumbling block for Chiefs going forward.
Moroka Swallows needed an 88th minute winner from Lerato Chabangu to sneak a win at home against a weaker University of Pretoria side earlier this month.
Swallows were expected to put in a more dominant display, despite finishing a place lower than AmaTuks last season, and whilst their superior talent shone through in the middle third of the pitch, they lacked the finishing that’s needed to see off a side of Chiefs’ pedigree.
Betting Prediction:
You’ll always look to back Chiefs at home, and I don’t see it being any different this time around. The bookies seem to agree, and at 7/10, it looks to be safe a 70% return from your investment. Also look to throw a Chiefs win into multiples as a nice boost to payouts.
