WEEKEND SOCCER HIGHLIGHTS: 29 - 31 March

R24-MILLION SOCCER 13 POOL TOPS EASTER WEEKEND MENU This Easter Weekend is an absolute bomb for TAB soccer customers. The big leagues are back after the international window, TAB has added cash bonuses to five pools and there are two Soccer 13 bets with guaranteed pools - R24 million for Saturday’s Soccer 13 and R8 million on Sunday! For as little as R2, you can play a Soccer 13 and get a chance to win more cash than you have ever dreamed of. So make your choices and take a bet! SEVERAL STAND-OUT BANKERS FOR SATURDAY’S BETS The first seven matches in the minimum R24-million Soccer 13 pot are all English Premier League encounters and there look to be a couple of stand-out bankers, while there’s no option but to take a chance in several of the others. Newcastle entertain West Ham in the early game and with the crowd behind them, you have to fancy their chances of edging out their visitors. Newcastle haven’t played to the level we saw last season, principally because of injuries, but the good news is that hopefully one or both of Kieran Trippier and Tino Livramento will be fit. That will give Eddie Howe more options and three points with a bit of luck. The banker bets look to be Aston Villa and London clubs Spurs and Chelsea to triumph at home, while Fulham were razor sharp against Spurs in their last game and should be up to an away win against Sheffield United. In other games in the pool count on Bayern Munich to win at home and Monaco should be able to extend their winning sequence over Metz to six despite playing away. Suggested R192 perm: 1,2,3 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1,2 x 1,2 x 3 x 1,2 x 2,3 x 1,2 x 1 x 1 x 3. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS WEEKEND SHORT: Walker and De Bruyne should play; Cape Town City’s captain good to go against Chiefs; Atlanta centre-back will miss Chicago Fire clash. * Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Edson Castillo has returned from two friendlies with the Venezuelan national team in the USA, including coming on as a substitute against Italy, but will not play against Cape Town City on Saturday. He is suspended for the trip along with fellow midfielder Yusuf Maart. * Manchester City expect Kyle Walker to be fit for their title showdown with Arsenal on Sunday. Walker suffered a hamstring injury against Brazil on Saturday and withdrew from the England squad for Tuesday’s friendly against Belgium. City also expect to have Kevin De Bruyne available after he pulled out of the Belgian squad due to a groin injury. * Cape Town City skipper Thamsanqa Mkhize makes a timely return from suspension for Saturday’s clash against Chiefs. He is expected to return to his role at right back in place of youngster Patrick Fisher with another veteran Marc van Heerden on the left. * Atlanta United centre back Stian Gregersen sustained a meniscus injury to his left knee and will be unavailable for Saturday's match at home to Chicago Fire, who have skipper Xherdan Shaqiri, the Swiss international midfielder, back from international duty.
