TAB WEEKEND SOCCER HIGHLIGHTS: 13 - 15 MARCH 2026

R23-MILLION SOCCER 13 HEADLINES A GRAND WEEKEND

Welcome to another fabulous weekend laden with exciting games and opportunities to get rich overnight for TAB soccer customers. The big-money action starts tonight with a R200,000-added Soccer 10 pool set to total some R2 million and hits a new dimension on Saturday with another R200,000-added Soccer 10 and a guaranteed R23-million Soccer 13 pot for all-13-correct entries. Here’s your chance to join the ranks of the multi-millionaires by midnight on Saturday.

RELY ON STELLIES, SUNDOWNS IN CASH-ADDED SOCCER 10

Tonight’s bonus-boosted Soccer 10, which closes at 19:30, is headlined by two matches involving Betway Premiership clubs. The league clash between Stellenbosch and Galaxy kicks off the bet followed 30 minutes later by the African Champions League (ACL) first-leg duel between Sundowns and Stade Malien, the reigning champions of Mali.

Stellenbosch were all over the show early in the season, but have now settled into a solid rhythm and are unbeaten in their last five league matches, winning three of them. Galaxy are a point ahead of Stellenbosch on the PSL log, but have played a game more and have suffered five straight defeats.

Momentum is certainly in the Cape side’s favour and it looks worth gambling on them to post a home victory in your Soccer 10 bets, as well as Sundowns in M2.

Sundowns, the sole South African survivor in the ACL and African Confederation Cup competitions after the exits of Pirates, Chiefs and Stellenbosch, made heavy weather of the group stages of the competition.

They had to beat former coach Rulani Mokwena’s MC Alger in their last Group C game to progress to the quarter-finals and duly did so fairly comfortably. That saw them finish second in the group and they got lucky in the draw for the last-eight matches, being pitted against Stade Malien as opposed to Egyptian giants

Al Ahly and Pyramids, who beat them in last year’s ACL final.

Stade Malien have won all their home games in this season’s ACL, but have had only one away success, beating a Central African Republic team of little account in the first preliminary round.

Sundowns do appear to be clicking into top gear at the right time and must be fancied to win tonight. Ideally, they need to win by a couple of goals or more and take a good lead to Bamako for the second leg next weekend, thus enabling to cruise through that match into the semi-finals.

TOP EPL CLUBS TO PUT UCL DISPLAYS BEHIND THEM

Moving onto Saturday’s mega Soccer 13, the bet comprises all five English Premier League clashes on the day and six Championship games with two competitive League One contests added to the mix to increase the difficulty level.

The standout bankers here are home victories for EPL log-leaders Arsenal against Everton and high-flying Millwall in a Championship clash with Blackburn Rovers.

Arsenal have hardly looked like potential league champions in their last two matches, scraping past Mansfield Town in the FA Cup last weekend followed by a 1-1 draw with Leverkusen in a midweek last-16 UEFA Champions League (UCL) clash, when a soft penalty enabled them to score a last-gasp equaliser.

But expect a much sharper performance back home at the Emirates tomorrow, while Millwall should also make the most of playing in front of their fans and post their fifth league victory on the trot against misfiring Blackburn.

Other potential bankers are Manchester City away to West Ham and Chelsea and Leicester City at home to Newcastle and QPR respectively.

Both City and Chelsea will be licking their wounds after being mauled by Real Madrid and PSG respectively in midweek Champions League games, but it’s on the cards that both will go all out to put those defeats behind them tomorrow.

Not for the first time Pep Guardiola made a couple of strange choices in picking his line-up for the Madrid clash and paid the penalty. Expect a better line-up tomorrow and City should come away with three points, although they can expect West Ham to put up a terrific fight.

PIRATES LOOK SET FOR HOME WIN OVER SIWELELE

For those who prefer bets with some local games, there’s the R200,000-added Soccer 10 tomorrow and carryover Soccer Any 13 Xtra. PSL log-leaders Pirates are a banker to win at home over Siwelele in both bets.

Cash injections to Soccer 4 and 6 pools add sparkle to Sunday’s range of TAB football bets with a home victory for Manchester United over Aston Villa and an away win for Fulham at Nottingham Forest looking the right banker bets in the R100,0000-added Soccer 6.
