WEEKEND SOCCER HIGHLIGHTS: 11 - 13 October
TWO SOCCER 10 BETS GET BIG CASH INJECTION FROM TAB There’s good cash to be won by TAB customers who can navigate through a sea of international and lower-league matches this weekend, especially in cash-added Soccer 10 and Soccer Any 13 Xtra bets, plus Sunday’s R276,399 carryover MEGA 10. COUNT ON BAFANA BAFANA TO PUT CONGO TO THE SWORD Big leagues are relegated to the grandstand during the current international break and TAB customers will find pools loaded with AFCON and South American World Cup qualifiers, plus Nations League clashes in Europe. For a variety of reasons, predicting the outcomes of international games is often challenging as was well illustrated by Greece’s shock win over England at Wembley on Thursday night. But there are often good rewards for those who get it right and tonight’s all-international, R150,000-added Soccer 10 bet has the potential to pay big. The pool closes at 19:00, when Bafana Bafana kick off against Congo-Brazzaville in an AFCON Group K qualifier at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha. Coach Hugo Broos' side will be assured of a slot at the 2025 AFCON finals in Morocco towards the end of next year if they beat Congo tonight an again in Brazzaville four days later. Bafana have been disappointing in their first two qualifiers. They drew 2-2 with Uganda last month, thanks to a stoppage-time equaliser from Thalente Mbatha, and followed that with a 3-2 win in South Sudan, courtesy of another Mbatha stoppage-time goal. Bafana need to sharpen their act tonight and play to the level that saw them finish third at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations finals in the Ivory Coast. They look more than capable of doing that, given that the 2024-25 Betway Premiership hadn’t started and many of our locally-based players were rusty before the first two qualifiers. Congo shouldn’t have the firepower to trouble South Africa - they are over 50 places below us in the global rankings and lost 2-0 in Uganda after opening their Group K campaign with a 1-0 home win against South Sudan. Other banker bets to win in the pool include Germany, Holland and Turkey. Tomorrow’s first Soccer 10 also gets a R150,000 kick-start from TAB and it’s a must-play bet because you only have to get nine matches correct to collect the winning payout. That’s because the scheduled Exeter-Mansfield game has been postponed and all choices will qualify as winners. It’s not an easy pool with mostly English League Two clashes, but that said Wimbledon, Harrowgate, MK Dons and Peterborough to win all appeal as bankers.
