PSL Tips and Predictions: Weekend of 9-10 May 2026
By 
The DStv Premiership title race is essentially settled but plenty of subplots remain. Top-eight, relegation, and Caf qualification are all live this weekend. Three picks for the weekend of 9-10 May 2026.
Mamelodi Sundowns vs Polokwane City
Sundowns at Loftus is one of the safest backs in SA football. Polokwane have lost 6 of their last 8 on the road and have conceded in every road match this calendar year. Sundowns score in 92% of home fixtures.
Pick: Sundowns to win and over 2.5 goals @ 2.05 (Hollywoodbets, Betway). Tickets the obvious result with the additional kicker that Sundowns have been generous in attack at home, averaging 2.4 goals per game at Loftus this season.
Orlando Pirates vs Sekhukhune United
Pirates flew back from a midweek continental fixture and have a thin rotation choice. Sekhukhune are unfashionable but well-drilled defensively under Lehlohonolo Seema, conceding only 0.9 goals per away game.
Pick: Under 2.5 goals @ 1.95 (10Bet, Easybet). Pirates have favoured patient buildup at Orlando this season and Sekhukhune's organisation should keep the scoreline tight.
Stellenbosch vs Marumo Gallants
The value angle this weekend. Stellies have quietly become one of the best home sides outside the top three, winning 7 of their last 9 at Danie Craven. Gallants are in survival mode and tend to set up cautiously on the road.
Pick: Stellenbosch -1 Asian Handicap @ 2.20 (Betway). Implied probability of Stellies winning by 2+ goals is around 38%, but the recent home form and Gallants' away timidity make this closer to 50%.

For an optimised three-leg multi (combined odds around 8.80), the strongest single source is Betway thanks to clean pricing and bet builder support.
