Wits and Real Madrid look bankers to win

-

We had a full-house in the highlighte­d Soccer 6 Pool over the weekend and nine out 10 in the Soccer 10, which is motivation to go one better in midweek.

The featured Soccer 6 Pool midweek is today and contains three PSL games, two Champions League encounters and a potentiall­y tricky game between League One leaders Sheffield United away at Oxford United. M1 Orlando Pirates v Supersport United: There is little doubt that new Pirates coach Kjelle Jonevret has had a positive impact, evidence of which existed in their pulsating 1-1 draw this past weekend against arch-rivals Kaizer Chiefs. They will need to take the same attitude into this game against third-placed Supersport United, who are unbeaten in their last 18 league games. M2 Platinum Stars v Golden Arrows: With both teams posting workmanlik­e wins in their last

outings, this is difficult to predict. But Stars should use home soil to their advantage. M3 Chippa United v Bidvest Wits: Chippa is a tough team to beat in Port Elizabeth, but Wits have looked like championsh­ip contenders since day one. They should collect another three points to sustain their title challenge. M4 Arsenal v Bayern Munich: Arsenal looked ordinary in their 1-3 defeat at Liverpool over the weekend and trail Bayern by a massive 1-5 margin after their thrashing in the first leg in Germany. The only question mark is that we cannot be sure who the respective managers will name in their starting line-ups. Go all three results. M5 Napoli v Real Madrid: With a 1-3 deficit from the first leg in Spain, Napoli will have to chase this Champions League game, which may just play into the hands of Real Madrid, who look a banker.

M6 Oxford United v Sheffield United: Although Sheffield top the standings in League One, their recent form has not been inspiring. They play away to a dangerous Oxford United, who have won five and lost two of their last seven league outings. Go wide.

Suggested R324 selection for the Soccer 6 pool on today 7 March S6 V1 P1 is: M1 =1, 2, 3; M2 =1, 2; M3 = 3; M4 =1, 2, 3; M5 = 3; M6 =1, 2, 3.

The featured Soccer 10 pool is also today and only two games in the Soccer 6 are included. Stay with the same common selections, while the additional bankers are in Birmingham City in M3 and in M8 Ipswich Town to overcome Wolverhamp­ton Wanderers.

Suggested R384 perm for the Soccer 10 pool on Tuesday S10 V2 is: M1 = 3; M2 =1, 2, 3; M3 = 1; M4 =1, 2; M5 =1, 2; M6 =1, 2; M7 =1, 2; M8 = 1; M9 =1, 2; M10 = 2, 3. For all TAB’s soccer pools this week go to www.soccer6.co.za
