POOLS, TIPS & PERMS

Saturday 4 Feb - S10 V1

M1 Chippa United vs Stellenbosch FC:

Another R500,000-boosted pool. Chippa are unbeaten at home against Stellenbosch, who snapped a ninematch run without success in a dramatic come-from-behind derby win over Cape Town City last weekend.

M2 Lamontville Golden Arrows vs Royal AM: A second KwaZulu-Natal derby for the weekend. Last season’s two meetings were both drawn, but Royal AM did beat Arrows 3-1 at home in October.

M3 Orlando Pirates vs Mamelodi Sundowns: Sundowns will attempt to win a 15th successive league game, but Pirates thrashed them 3-0 in their MTN8 semi-final earlier this season and will want to replicate that here.

M4 Aston Villa vs Leicester City:

Villa have 10 points from their previous four EPL matches. Leicester have won three of their last five away matches.

M5 Brentford vs Southampton:

Southampton sit at the bottom of the EPL table and will be desperate to come away with at least a point, but Brentford are tough nuts to crack at home and beat their rivals 3-0 the last time they hosted them in May.

M6 Brighton & Hove Albion vs AFC Bournemouth: This South Coast derby sees Bournemouth looking for a first win since the World Cup break, having gone seven games without success. Brighton are in sixth spot in the Premier League.

M7 Manchester United vs Crystal Palace: Palace have won on two of their last three visits to Old Trafford, but are without a victory in five games this year.

M8 Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Liverpool: Liverpool won 1-0 away at Molineux on 17 January in a FA Cup replay to extend their unbeaten run against Wolves to nine games.

M9 SuperSport United vs Cape Town City: SuperSport have not won in four matches since beating City away early in January. Both sides are struggling for consistency.

M10 Marumo Gallants vs Sekhukhune United: Gallants are bottom of the PSL table and without a win in eight games while Sekhukhune’s four-match winning streak was halted by champions Sundowns last Saturday.
