SIBONGISEN­I’S PICKS

-

An entertaini­ng game is likely when Baroka host Chippa United as both play a kind of football no fan would pass on. But a lack of goals has been an Achilles heel for both Bakgaga and the Chilli Boys. Baroka, however, have scored seven more times than Chippa.

But with uncertaint­y surroundin­g the Bakgaga camp following the suspension­s of coach Kgoloko Thobejane and three players, the team could struggle to focus. A win in the Nedbank Cup midweek will, however, have some positive influence.

With his team firmly in the top eight, Teboho Moloi might feel a draw away to an unpredicta­ble team like Baroka could be a good result and focus more on shutting the back door and ensuring they at least come away with a point. A draw – but with goals – will be the result here. Pool Name – S6 V3 P2 M1: Baroka v Chippa United. Preview above. Tip: Draw = 2 M2: Golden Arrows v Bidvest Wits. Both have not been entirely convincing. Tip: Draw = 2 M3: Eibar v Barcelona. It will not be a walk in the park but Barca will win this one. Tip: Barcelona win = 3 M4: Deportivo Alaves v Deportivo La Coruna. La Coruna are desperate for points. Tip: Draw = 2 M5: Kaizer Chiefs v Cape Town City. Difficult to call but Chiefs should win at home. Tip: Chiefs win = 1 M6: Malaga v Valencia. Another defeat for Malaga. Tip: Valencia win = 3 Bet on this pool and TAB’s other football pools – go to
