Football Betting Tips - Here Are Tips Ahead Of Fixtures By Soccer 6.
Mpumalanga Black Aces entertain the in-form Ajax Cape Town outfit at Mbombela Stadium on Saturday afternoon, September 27. AmaZayoni failed to pick up maximum points in their last league fixture away to Maritzburg United settling for a 0-0 draw, and will now look to derail the Urban Warriors who have had the most amazing start to a PSL season. Roger De Sa's youthful Ikamva side are yet to lose a single game and find themselves in second spot on the Absa Premiership table behind Kaizer Chiefs. Following their 4-0 thrashing of Gil Vicente in their last league encounter, Sporting Lisbon are out to carry on where they left off with the visit of rivals, FC Porto at the Estadio Jose Alvalade. Both sides are undefeated so far in the league. Porto have won three matches, drawing two, where Sporting Lisbon have claimed two victories and three draws in the first five matches in the league. The home side will look to break that streak when the two sides take to the field this evening, Friday, September 26. PSL returnees, Chippa United, have a daunting task at hand when they welcome a wounded Orlando Pirates side at the Nelson Mandela Bay on Saturday, September 27. The Buccaneers come off a disappointing Soweto Derby MTN8 final loss at the hands of rivals Kaizer Chiefs, and are eager to redeem themselves in this tie. The Chilli Boys find themselves on position nine in the PSL standings, and a win over Bucs could see the Roger Sikhakhane-led side move as high up as seventh on the table if other results go their way. Newly-crowned MTN8 champions, Kaizer Chiefs, will now switch their focus to domestic league action when they take to the field against the tricky Maritzburg United at FNB Stadium on Saturday evening, September 27. The Amakhosi are in beaming mood following their Wafa Wafa triumph over Orlando Pirates, and come into this clash with a 100 percent unbeaten streak. The Naturena side currently lead the Absa Premiership standings, and possess an amazing record of only conceding two goals in six league encounters so far in the 2014/15 PSL campaign. Bragging rights are at stake in the North London derby when Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur clash. Spurs manager, Mauricio Pochettino, will have his first experience of a North London derby as his Tottenham side make the short trip to the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, September 27. The Gunners suffered a humiliating 2-1 loss at the hands of Southampton in the Capital One Cup in mid-week, but the Lilly Whites came unschathed in Wednesday night's 3-1 win against Nottingham Forest in the same competition. The last time these two sides met was early in 2014, which saw a decisive goal within two minutes of the match commencing hand Arsenal all the three points at White Hart Lane courtesy of a Tomas Rosicky strike. Former Gunners forward, Emmanuel Adebayor, has scored more goals than any other player in north London derby history (eight for Arsenal and two for Spurs), and will look to haunt his former employers. FC Cologne will face Bayern Munich on Saturday, September 27, in their German Bundesliga league encounter match at Rhein Energie Stadion. Peter Stoger's men have conceded just once so far in their top-flight return, but face a rampant Bayern Munich side whose confidence is beginning to rise. The reigning Bundesliga champions struggled to finish teams off in their opening exchanges of this term, drawing at Schalke and Hamburg, but have recently shown an improvement when they beat newly-promoted Paderborn 4-0. Reigning Barclays English Premier League champions, Manchester City, travel to the KC Stadium to take on Hull City on Saturday, September 27. The Etihad side will be without the services of Stevan Jovetic, Fernando and Samir Nasri. Manuel Pellegrini expects a tough test against Steve Bruce's side but will be keen to see his charges overcome the home side following their 2-0 win in last season's corresponding fixture. The Citizens come off a 1-1 draw against table-toppers Chelsea in their last league fixture, followed by a 7-0 thrashing of Sheffield Wednesday, while Hull City suffered a 3-2 loss on Wednesday evening as they bowed out of the League Cup away to West Bromwich Albion. Steve Bruce's side have now dropped to 10th place on the league table after last Saturday's 2-2 draw at Newcastle United. Following their shocking 1-0 win in the corresponding fixture against Mamelodi Sundowns last season, Polokwane City are looking to repeat the same feat when the Brazilians 'invade' Polokwane for their PSL encounter against on Sunday afternoon, September 28, at the Peter Mokaba Stadium. Led by the charges of former Bucs Amakhosi mentor, Kosta Papic, who is yet to obtain a work permit, the home side who are sitting in an uncompromising 15th position are eager for another upset, with three points likely to move them out of the relegation zone if other teams stutter in their respective PSL ties. If you are a betting person, here are tips ahead of the fixtures brought to you by Soccer 6 and Soccer Laduma Deputy Editor, Vuyani Joni.

SPORTING LISBON V PORTO League position: Sporting 6th and Porto 3rd Useful facts: In this Primeira Liga clash in Portugal, fierce rivals Sporting take on Porto in Lisbon. Both teams are unbeaten in the league this season and will want to no doubt continue their positive run. Expect this to be a cracking encounter with both teams going all out for the win. Vuyani Joni: Draw. BLACK ACES V AJAX CAPE TOWN League position: Aces 13th and Ajax 2nd Useful facts: After an uncertain start, it appears Aces have finally hit their stride in the Absa Premiership. Clive Barker's men are undefeated in their last three matches and are starting to play some decent football. High-flying Ajax won't have it all their way in this PSL clash in Mpumalanga. Vuyani Joni: Ajax away win. They've been good away from home this season. CHIPPA UNITED V ORLANDO PIRATES League position: Chippa 9th and Pirates 3rd Useful facts: Despite all the behind-the-scenes shenanigans, Chippa have enjoyed a solid start to their first season back in the South African top flight. However, they face a huge test as a wounded Orlando Pirates come to town. Bucs suffered a setback, losing in the MTN8 Final to Kaizer Chiefs, and Vladimir Vermezovic will no doubt want a response. This could be an exciting affair in Port Elizabeth. Vuyani Joni: Pirates win. They have to bounce back after losing to Chiefs in the MTN8 Final. KAIZER CHIEFS V MARITZBURG UNITED League position: Chiefs 1st and United 6th Useful facts: At the moment, Chiefs seem to be treating their Absa Premiership opponents like they are their daily bread, and they are a fat man with an enormous appetite. The Glamour Boys recently tucked into Orlando Pirates with great relish, and Stuart Baxter's men will be licking their lips for the visit of Maritzburg. Can the determined Team of Choice stop the Amakhosi runaway train? Vuyani Joni: This should be yet another win for Chiefs. ARSENAL V TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR League position: Arsenal 4th and Spurs 9th Useful facts: Arsenal are still showing the kind of split personality they've come to be known for under Arsene Wenger. At times the Gunners play brilliant football, at other moments they defend like a totally disorganised Sunday pub side. With that said, Arsenal should be favourites in this Premiership clash at the Emirates. Spurs still look largely awful, disjointed and their fans must still be bemoaning the worst spending spree seen in modern times. Expect a comfortable win for the Gunners. Vuyani Joni: Arsenal victory at home. FC COLOGNE V BAYERN MUNICH League position: Cologne 8th and Bayern 4th Useful facts: In this interesting Bundesliga clash, Cologne welcomes the visit of Bayern to the Rhein Energie Stadium. This could be a keenly-fought encounter – Cologne have started the season brightly, whereas Bayern are still to discover their best form. Expect a lively affair in Germany's fourth largest city. Vuyani Joni: Bayern win without doubt. HULL CITY V MANCHESTER CITY League position: Hull 10th and City 6th Useful facts: Hull are a solid little outfit under Coach Steve Bruce and always give opponents a hard time at home. City have endured a relatively slow start to the campaign and already the pressure must be mounting on Manuel Pellegrini. The Tigers may just fancy an upset in this clash in Yorkshire. Vuyani Joni: Man City win! POLOKWANE CITY V MAMELODI SUNDOWNS League position: Polokwane 15th and Sundowns 5th Useful facts: Polokwane have started the season poorly and it led to the departure of Coach Boebie Solomons as a result. With that said, Sundowns have also gotten out of the starting blocks at a snail's pace. This could be a hard-fought affair in the City of Stars. Vuyani Joni: Sundowns win, although Kosta Papic won't make it easy!
