Expert Betting Tips

Cape Town City have had more luck in this game and I expect a similar one at home. While Chippa United have failed to step up their games, their ability to be a tough side to beat in their best days is on another level. While I do not expect either team to have an easy task, I feel they will have a lot of attacking threats to deal with. Pick Cape Town City to win, but with Chippa’s quality in attack, a bet on both teams scoring is also a good option.
