Covid-19 also infected football

The football was affected by Covid-19, most of the competitions being interrupted, in order to prevent possible coronavirus diseases. Bookmakers are still lucky that some countries are still playing, but all bets hope that they will return to normal and be able to bet on the Champions League, Europa League, Liga 1, Premier League, Serie A, La League, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, Super League, Eredivisie, etc. At this moment the offer is very weak, with parties from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Argentina, Bahrain, etc. Under these conditions, I propose a preliminary bet from South Africa, which has postponed all competitions.

Betano sees Kaizer Chiefs champion

FC Stellenbosch – Mamelodi Sundowns, score 0-1, was the last match in the South African championship. The match took place on March 11, at 19:30, the author of the goal being Themba Zwane, in the 9th minute. The threat of a pandemic became real, so it was decided that all matches should be postponed. At the moment the leader of the Premier League is Kaizer Chiefs, team that in the previous season ranked 9th, having 39 points in 30 stages. Now, the team coached by the German Ernst Middendorp is in first place in the standings, with 48 points after 22 stages. “Amakhosi” have the most wins, 15 in number, but also the best attack, scoring 40 goals. Kaizer Chiefs won the last title in the 2012-2013 season. Champion Mamelodi Sundowns has 44 points and is 2nd in the standings, but has a less contested match and can come to 1 point leader. The team coached by Pitso Mosimane has the best defense in the championship, scoring only 15 goals in 21 stages. It should be noted that “The Brazilians” have won the last two Premier League titles and will try to “triple”. The teams ranked 3rd and 4th, SuperSport United and Orlando Pirates have 40 points, but they have little chance of winning the competition, because they have 24 stages, respectively 23 and already the distance to Kaizer Chiefs is 8 points. Therefore, Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns are the main favorites, the odds at the Betano bookmaker being 1.62 and 2.45 respectively.

Kaizer Chiefs will play at home with Mamelodi Sundowns

In the last 6 matches this season, Kaizer Chiefs will play with Bloemfontein Celtic (9th place, away), FC Stellenbosch (11th place, home), Mamelodi Sundowns (2nd place, home), Bidvest Wits (6th place, away), Chippa United (12th place at home) and FC Baroka (13th place, away), while Mamelodi Sundowns will meet them in the last 7 games (Maritzburg United 5th place, away), Cape Town City (10th place, away), Golden Arrows (7th place, home), Kaizer Chiefs (1st place, away), FC Baroka (13th place, home), Polokwane City (14th place, away) and Black Leopards (16th place, home). Therefore, the match that can decide the title will be played at the “FNB” stadium in Johannesburg, and Kaizer Chiefs will have the advantage of his own field and the support of tens of thousands of fans. In the round, on October 27, 2019, Mamelodi Sundowns lost 0-2 at home to Kaizer Chiefs, the 2 goals being scored by Serbian striker Samir Nurković in the 7th and 78th minutes.

Nurković and Zwane, the goalkeepers of both teams

Kaizer Chiefs scorers are Serb Samir Nurković (11 goals), Colombian Leonardo Castro (7 goals) and Lebogang Manyama (6 goals), the latter having the most goals, 8. The top scorers at Mamelodi Sundowns are Themba Zwane (9 goals) and Sibusiso Vilakazi (5 goals), the last one having the most assists, 8. For “Bafana baStyle” the delay of the matches was good, because Thapelo Morena, Oupa Manyisa, Lucky Mohomi, Anthony Laffor and Mauricio Affonso are injured, while “Glamor Boys” do not have players with medical problems.
