It was a weekend of missed opportunities in the PSL last time out, with title rivals Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates both picking up draws, meaning the drama is set to rumble on this week.
Both sides have a decent gap between themselves and the chasing pack, led by the Kaizer Chiefs but there is still plenty to play for over the coming matches.
Down at the bottom of the pile, Orbit College are propping up the rest, with Magesi FC and Marumo Gallants just a point above them, in what should be another proper scrap to avoid the wooden spoon too.
The games just keep coming and here is a look ahead to the next round of PSL fixtures:

Mamelodi Sundowns vs Polokwane City @ Loftus Versfeld Stadium
Mamelodi Sundowns ($1.45)
Polokwane City ($4.50)
Draw ($3.80)
The PSL title race continues to intensify for the Mamelodi Sundowns and they will be looking to strike first this weekend, as they take on Polokwane City.
Sundowns are a side that tend to come good when the pressure is on, but they lacked urgency in a draw with Richards Bay last time out and they will need to improve their performance level here.
Polokwane City have been solid this season and sit in sixth place as a result.
With not much to play for, they would be forgiven for rolling over here, but they are tough unit, who should be up for this from the first minute.
This will be tight but with Sundowns playing at home, they should get the job done.
Result Prediction: Mamelodi Sundowns to win the match – $1.45
Score Prediction: Mamelodi Sundowns 2 – 0 Polokwane City
Best Bet:
Magesi FC vs Orbit College @ Seshego Stadium
Magesi FC ($2.60)
Orbit College ($2.75)
Draw ($3.10)
Two sides down in the bottom three square off here, as Magesi FC host Orbit College.
It has been a very tough campaign for Magesi, who have struggled to string together any sort of consistency and have only managed to pick up four wins thus far.
Orbit College do have one more triumph on their card, but they remain a point behind Magesi FC and recent performances won’t instil too much confidence in them.
On paper, this should be very cagey, with both sides lacking form and fluency and a drab draw could be on the cards.
Result Prediction: Draw – $3.10
Score Prediction: Magesi FC 0 – 0 Orbit College
Best Bet:
Stellenbosch FC vs Orlando Pirates @ Athlone Stadium
Stellenbosch FC ($3.75)
Orlando Pirates ($1.60)
Draw ($3.40)
All eyes are on the Orlando Pirates here, who need to keep winning in the title race and this trip to Stellenbosch certainly won’t be an easy one.
The hosts are one of the more mercurial sides in the PSL, who are capable of picking up results against anybody, but their lack of consistency has been their undoing this term.
For the Orlando Pirates, the pressure is certainly ramped up and following their draw with Kaizer Chiefs last weekend, they still need results to go their way in the title race.
This will be a good one, with Orlando Pirates potentially having enough about them to get the job done.
Result Prediction: Orlando Pirates to win the match – $1.60
Score Prediction: Stellenbosch FC 1 – 2 Orlando Pirates
Best Bet:
Mamelodi Sundowns vs Kaizer Chiefs @ Loftus Versfeld Stadium
Mamelodi Sundowns ($1.50)
Kaizer Chiefs ($4.50)
Draw ($3.50)
The game in hand afforded to Mamelodi Sundowns is in use here, as they look to keep Orlando Pirates at bay in the title race.
With third place Kaizer Chiefs the visitors, all of the hype around the PSL top two should come to a head here and the Sundowns will be desperate to get over the line in front of their home fans.
For Kaizer Chiefs, this is a chance to upset the apple cart somewhat and their recent performances should give them the belief that they could pick up a result here.
However, Sundowns always come good at this point in the season, and they could edge this one.
Result Prediction: Mamelodi Sundowns to win the match – $1.50
Score Prediction: Mamelodi Sundowns 3 – 1 Kaizer Chiefs
