Pretoria Callies vs Upington City tips and predictions

Not easy to separate sides in Motsepe Foundation Championship clash; parity up for debate

There's not much between Pretoria Callies and Upington City in the Motsepe Foundation Championship. The hosts are in tenth place with 32 points, compared to their opponents who are in seventh place on 36 points.

Any result could happen here. The draw makes some sense. With goals being hard to come by in the build up to this one, this might not be a goal-fest and it's certainly not one to get carried away about. That said, the draw is the play from the 1X2.

Both sides have reasons to be confident of keeping things tidy at the back. Pretoria Callies have averaged 0.8 goals in their last 12 home starts and Upington City are averaging 0.5 goals from their last 4 games.

If the betting market is to be believed, only one of these sides is fancied to score as the match is likely to be tight. Should it play out as many expect then the No BTTS bet could be sensible.

Pretoria Callies have drawn 8 of their last 19 matches on their own soil. Further, Upington City have drawn 5 of their last 13 away games. To wrap this up there is nothing to like about the home or away win odds, so the draw warrants consideration. Deadlock is the pick after what will probably be a close encounter.
