Friday 17 October 2025
Richards Bay vs Orbit College
Richards Bay
Premier Soccer LeagueWhy this tip?
It is not often that we see lots of goals in the PSL, but this game has the makings of a high scoring encounter. Both sides have seen lots of goals in their PSL fixtures and this game is right after an international break, so goals could be on the menu.
Saturday 18 October 2025
Amazulu vs Durban City
Amazulu
Premier Soccer LeagueWhy this tip?
A nice KZN derby to kick things off on Saturday. Both sides are playing good football, and not much will separate them on Saturday. Back the draw at a very nice price, either as a single bet or part of a high odds ACCA.
Magesi vs TS Galaxy
Magesi
Premier Soccer LeagueWhy this tip?
It has been a dismal PSL premiership season so far for Magesi who are in the relegation zone. TS Galaxy are flying high in the top eight and should be too good for the home side, despite playing away from home.
Sunday 19 October 2025
Marumo Gallants vs Chippa Utd
Marumo Gallants
Premier Soccer LeagueWhy this tip?
Chippa Utd are stuck at the foot of the South African premiership log. Marumo are also not playing that good football, but are out of the relegation zone. Both attacks are not free flowing and for that reason we don’t expect both teams to find the back of the net.
Tuesday 21 October 2025
Orlando Pirates vs Polokwane
Orlando Pirates
Premier Soccer LeagueWhy this tip?
We are treated to a nice game here which sees third tussle with sixth. Pirates are playing good football and should get the win on home soil. It will be a close encounter, but the Soweto giants should have enough to clinch a narrow win.
Sekhukhune vs Sundowns
Sekhukhune United
Premier Soccer LeagueWhy this tip?
Arguably the standout South African premiership games on Tuesday. First versus second and this should be a cracker. Sundowns have been inconsistent this season and they are leaking goals as well. Both score is a big runner here and both teams should have plenty of chances.
Wednesday 22 October 2025
Kaizer Chiefs vs Siwelele
Kaizer Chiefs
Premier Soccer LeagueWhy this tip?
Visitors Siwelele got a much needed win just before the international break, but that break has stalled the momentum. Chiefs are playing good football and importantly are creating chances. Amakhosi should be too good for a dismal Siwelele outfit.
Stellenbosch vs Golden Arrows
Stellenbosch
Premier Soccer LeagueWhy this tip?
No one would have expected Stellies to be fighting relegation. The pressure is mounting now and when times are tough, teams generally slow the game and look to fight for points without playing attacking football. Arrows should also be happy for a close encounter that is likely to have less than three goals.
Besides PSL betting tips, we cover several other global soccer leagues, such as EPL, La Liga, Serie A and the UEFA Champions League.

Understanding Football Predictions
Football predictions are popular for all types of bettors. Whether you are a small-time punter or someone who bets with bigger stakes, it is important to understand how betting markets work. The last thing you want is to win a bet but then realize you placed the wager on an incorrect betting market.
Before placing any bets, you must understand the different football betting markets. Our team at Topbets have provided some FAQs on common questions that most bettors have. These questions cover all popular football betting prediction markets, such as 1×2 betting markets, BTTS, draw no bet, and correct score predictions.
What is 1×2 betting?
The 1×2 betting market is the easiest type of bet as there are only three possible outcomes. Either a home win (1), an away win (2), or a draw (x). Today’s soccer predictions (accumulator/multibet of the day) always include 1×2 betting tips.
What is BTTS betting?
Both teams to score (BTTS) are a favourite among bettors who love goals. This is a two-way betting market, where you predict whether or not both teams in a match will score. If two big teams are playing, who are both free-scoring, for example, Liverpool vs Arsenal, the BTTS – Yes market will be a popular soccer betting prediction for the game.
What is Over 2.5 goals?
Like the BTTS market, over 2.5 goals predicts the outcome of a game’s total number of goals. Generally, the odds on these markets are around 1.60, but if you want a safer betting option with lower odds, the over 1.5 goals market is popular. You can also bet on team totals; for example, if you think Arsenal will beat Chelsea 3-0, you can beat Arsenal to score over 2.5 goals. These odds are higher than the over 2.5 match goals since you need the Gunners to score 3 times.
What is Handicap betting?
Handicap betting is also known as spreads betting, so don’t get confused if some betting sites have different terminology. Handicap betting evens the playing field when a game has a short-priced favourite. The underdogs are given a head start with a virtual +1.5, +2.5, +3.5, etc lead. For example, if Man City were playing Ipswich at the Etihad, the 1×2 betting would be Man City at 1.15. The handicap line would be Man City -2.5 at 1.90.
This means that Ipswich are given a 2 goal head start, so for your bet on Man City -2.5 to win, the team must win by three goals. If the game ends 3-1 to City, you bet loses because Ipswich won the virtual handicap line 3 – 3.5 (1 goal scored plus the +2.5 handicap line).
What is Draw No Bet?
We mentioned 1×2 betting markets, and the draw no bet is similar, but it provides an insurance on the draw option. If the match ends in a draw, your stake is refunded. The odds on draw no bet markets are lower than the 1×2 betting markets.
How to bet on Corner Kicks?
Corner kicks are not a common betting market, but you will find these at several betting brands. You can place wagers on the total match corners in a game and how many corners each team will take. Corner kicks betting is a two-way betting market, so you are betting on the overs or under line. You should study the style of play for teams, and generally, teams that attack from wide instead of through the middle of the pitch tend to get more corners.
What are Correct Score predictions?
The correct score predictions are always mentioned whenever you search for today’s football predictions. A correct score means predicting the correct final score in a game. This betting market requires careful consideration of various factors, such as team news, head-to-head results and the form of the teams. The betting odds on the correct score are always high, but these markets are more volatile than others, like the 1×2 betting markets and the BTTS markets.
