Best Bet

8/10 Chelsea | Draw 26/10 | Newcastle United 29/10 – Saturday, 14 March (19:30)

Chelsea to win & Over 2.5 at 14/10

The Magpies were close to a major win during their UEFA Champions League match against Barcelona on Tuesday, having managed a 1-0 lead following a goal by Harvey Barnes in the 86th minute, before Lamine Yamal equalised with a last-minute penalty.

United managed to return to the winning lane after experiencing back-to-back league losses, having edged in-form Manchester United 2-1 while playing with 10 men. They are currently sitting 12th on the log, and a win on Saturday would take them as high as 9th.

Nick Woltemode, who scored a brace during their last clash with Chelsea, returned to the matchday squad but was an unused substitute and could be granted a starting berth in this match. However, the youngster, William Osula, has been a good replacement in that number nine position.

The Blues, on the other hand, will be eyeing redemption following their 5-2 demolition by PSG on Wednesday. The absence of youngster Estevao was felt by manager Liam Rosenior, as his side struggled to create chances during their Champions League clash. The young Brazilian may be a major boost should he be fit and ready for this clash.

This match always rains goals as both sides play attacking football. Chelsea has won their last two meetings with Eddie Howe’s side at Stamford Bridge with at least three goals being scored in the match, opening up an opportunity for several scoring, totals and other goal-related betting markets:

Both Teams to Score (Yes) – 5/10
Anytime Goalscorer: Joao Pedro – 5/4
Total Corners: Over 10.5 – 17/20
Winning Margins: Chelsea by 1 – 3/1
Additional Totals: Over 3.5 – 11/10

Value Bet

19/20 Kaizer Chiefs | Draw 7/4 | Durban City 7/2 – Sunday, 14 March (15:30)

Draw/Durban City & Over 1.5 at 43/20

A spot in the top three will be on the cards when Amakhosi welcomes newcomers Durban City at First National Bank Stadium to return to the winning lane after succumbing to four successive losses across all competitions.

Chiefs were enjoying one of their best league runs in the league in the last three three seasons, spending most of the first half in the top three spots and not far from top contenders, Mamelodi Sundowns and Pirates, but things look to be falling apart as they were out of shape during their recent clash against Richards Bay, failing to register a single shot on target.

Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef face a tough challenge of turning the situation around with several players sidelined due to injuries, while key players, including Aden McCarthy and Sibongiseni Mthethwa, will be serving suspensions after receiving their fourth yellow card. Zitha Kwinika’s return will be a welcome boost, while Inacio Miguel and Mfundo Vilakazi are major doubts.

City will look to continue with their impressive run, which has seen them go without a loss across all competitions since January. Despite several restructurings of the technical team, they have managed to remain competitive and collect crucial points. They suffered a 1-0 loss in their first meeting with the Soweto giants after a last-minute header by Flavio Da Silva.

City comes into this clash in excellent shape and looks well-positioned to walk away with all three points. Their recent form has been impressive, and they appear far more organised and confident than the home side. Chiefs, meanwhile, face a major setback with several key defensive players unavailable; McCarthy, Mthethwa and Given Msimango are all out, while Miguel remains a doubt. To make matters worse, Nkanyiso Shinga picked up an injury against Bay, and Bradley Cross also suffered a knock. With Pitso Dladla’s in-form frontline firing on all cylinders, the visitors look poised to find the back of the net more than once, making City an exciting value pick for this fixture.
