Bet on a Draw
Pirates are fifth in the log and have struggled to convert draws into wins this season. They have drawn five out of their 17 games to date, winning seven. Polokwane City have had a decent season so far. Despite this being their first season back up after having won promotion during the last campaign, they look well on course to avoiding relegation this season and have a chance of breaking into the top eight. They are likely to sit back in this game in order to try and force Pirates into making mistakes. Polokwane will be happy to try and get a point from this match.
Bet on the Game to End 0-0
As is often the case in DSTV Premiership games, this could well be a game where the ball is confined to midfield for large sections of the game. One can expect the shooting to be woeful in front of goal. While Pirates will probably dominate ball possession, they are not the most lethal side in front of goal. Polokwane will be content to try and sit back and punish the Sea Robbers on the counter attack if they gain an opportunity. A 0-0 draw in this game looks like a likely outcome.
Bet on Both Teams to Not Score
This game on paper has the makings of one that will be low scoring and settled by fine margins. It is safe to say that this will be a match in which both teams will certainly not find the back of the net.
