Here Are Football Betting Tips Ahead Of Fixtures By Soccer 6.
Siwelele are at home to the tricky Polokwane City who have suffered three losses on the trot, and are out to cause an upset to Ernst Middendorp' side. Celtic are also looking to claim all three points having accumulated only four points in their last three matches. 'Rise and Shine' are currently lying in 14th position, six points adrift of the relegation zone, and Boebie Solomons has reiterated the desire for his team to retain their PSL status at the end of the season. Relegation candidates, Golden Arrows, haven't enjoyed much success of late. Abafana Bes'thende are without a point in three matches, and with only eleven games remaining to the end of the season, it remains to be seen if they will pick up enough points to avoid the drop from top-flight football. Though they play at home, the Shaun Bartlett-led side face a possible tough encounter when they welcome Clive Barker's Mpumalanga Black Aces side at the King Zwelithini Stadium tonight. 'The Dog' steered Wits to an eighth spot finish last season, and is keen to follow suit on that feat. The original Soweto Derby square off tonight with Moroka Swallows hosting Parktown's Orlando Pirates. Both teams are on a bad run at the moment with Swallows having only picked up a point in their last game against Bloemfontein Celtic, and Pirates succumbing to a surprise 1-0 defeat at the hands of the Universirty of Pretoria. Platinum Stars who remain the only team to have bagged major honours in this current campaign after their MTN8 and Telkom Knockout truimphs earlier on in the season, entertain table-toppers Kaizer Chiefs in their league fixture at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium tonight. Allan Freese's side are currently sat at sixth position on the PSL table, but will do battle against the Amakhosi without influential players, Issa Sarr and Mogakolodi Ngele. Chiefs on the other hand are currently on a run of 15 games unbeaten in all competitions, and are looking to extend their lead at the top of the table to nine points. In international club competition, Manchester City face a daunting task to overturn a 2-0 first leg deficit they suffered at the hands of Catalan club, Barcelona. The Etihad side travel to the Nou Camp tonight for their Champions League tie, in what should be an entertaining affair. Manuel Pellegrini's side have already claimed silverware this season after their 3-1 win over Sunderland in the Capital One Cup last weekend, but will have to go all out if they are to progress to the next stage of Europe's elite club competition.

BLOEMFONTEIN CELTIC V POLOKWANE CITY League position: Celtic 8th and City 14th Useful facts: Celtic is always a very competitive side at home and is traditionally a team who is hard to break down. However, City is in some awful form meaning Siwelele are likely to be favourites in this league clash. David Minchella: Okay, guys. I'm going to try and get 100% and win you a lot of money! I'm going for a win here for Celtic. GOLDEN ARROWS V BLACK ACES League position: Arrows 16th and Aces 12th Useful facts: Arrows are in absolute dire straits and seem doomed to relegation if results don't start to change quickly. This means visiting Aces will fancy their chances of picking up all three points in Durban. David Minchella: Arrows are all over the show at the moment. I think Aces will sneak a win. MOROKA SWALLOWS V ORLANDO PIRATES League position: Swallows 11th and Pirates 5th Useful facts: The Dube Birds have largely been misfiring in 2014 and are generally just getting by with some lacklustre performances. This ought to give Orlando Pirates every motivation of beating Swallows in their own backyard. David Minchella: Have to give the win to Pirates. Vladimir Vermezovic will shout them to victory! PLATINUM STARS V KAIZER CHIEFS League position: Stars 6th and Chiefs 1st Useful facts: Stars have enjoyed an excellent season which is highlighted by the trophies they've won. Their standing in the league is also testament to a good campaign for Dinaledi. Runaway PSL leaders, Chiefs, will no doubt be expecting a tough affair in this PSL encounter. David Minchella: Stars are going to raise their game and play like men possessed. Win for Platinum Stars. BARCELONA V MANCHESTER CITY League position: Barcelona 3rd and City 4th Useful facts: Barcelona appears to be a force in decline and they currently trail La Liga leaders, Real Madrid, by four points as a result. However, money-bags City was shaken after losing to Wigan at home in the FA cup. This means Barca should be favourites in this Champions League tie. David Minchella: Barcelona won't lose at home. Win for Barca.
