Sundowns look a banker bet in Soccer 6

The featured midweek Soccer 6 pool is challenging and could provide some upset results. The match of the pool is the top-of-the-table clash in the English Championship between Brighton and Hove Albion and visitors Newcastle United.

Brighton lead the standings by a single point over their rivals and are unbeaten at home in the league in their last 13 outings (10 wins and three draws). Newcastle are also in fine form and are unbeaten in their last eight league games with five wins. They have a good away record so this game is sure to be evenly contested. M1 Mamelodi Sundowns v Chippa United: Sundowns seem unstoppable at the moment and the way they beat fellow title contenders, Bidvest Wits over the weekend makes one believe they are in a class of their own. M2 Aston Villa v Bristol City: Bristol gave Newcastle a fright this past weekend when they drew

2-2 away, this after leading by two goals with half an hour left to play. Villa’s recent form has not been good, but after two draws and seven losses in their last nine league matches, they finally bounced back to beat Derby County 1-0 in a home fixture. M3 Blackburn Rovers v Derby County: Second-bottom Rovers play a mid-table Derby team that has gone through a bad patch after looking like play-off contenders at one stage. This can produce any result. M4 Bolton Wanderers v Bristol Rovers: League One mid-table team Rovers have become draw specialists, drawing their last five league matches, while Bolton are challenging in fourth place for an automatic promotion spot. Banker the home team.

M5 Brighton and Hove Albion v Newcastle United: All three results.

M6 Hamilton Academical v Aberdeen: Aberdeen’s only loss in their last 11 league and cup games, has

been a narrow 0-1 reverse to runaway log leaders Celtic. That said, if you are looking to make this pool pay, add the draw to the away win.
