If you follow South African football, the Betway Premiership is the heartbeat of the season. Every weekend brings new drama – a surprise win, a late goal, a transfer rumour that could change a club’s fortunes. This guide pulls together the most useful updates so you don’t have to chase multiple sources.
Last Saturday saw a shock 2‑1 comeback for Kaizer Chiefs against a high‑scoring Mamelodi Sundowns side. The winning goal came in the 86th minute from a slick free‑kick by the Chiefs’ midfielder. On the other end, Maritzburg United secured a vital point after a 0‑0 draw, keeping their relegation battle alive. These results shuffled the table, nudging Orlando Pirates into second place while keeping SuperSport United in the top four.
Player of the week went to the young striker who netted a brace for Cape Town City. His pace and finishing reminded fans why he’s tipped for a move abroad. Keep an eye on his name in transfer talks – clubs from the Middle East and Europe are already scouting him.
Want to catch the action as it happens? The official Betway app streams every match with a simple click‑through. If you prefer TV, SuperSport still carries the prime‑time fixtures on channel 2. For those who love stats, the league’s website updates the match timeline, possession percentages and player ratings every few minutes.
Social media is another quick way to stay in the loop. Follow the league’s official Twitter account for goal alerts and half‑time analysis. Instagram stories give you behind‑the‑scenes looks at training sessions and locker‑room talks, which can be useful if you enjoy the human side of the sport.
Don’t forget the weekly podcast that breaks down the top five matchups. It’s a 20‑minute listen that fits nicely into a commute and often features interviews with coaches who spill tactical secrets.
Looking ahead, the next round promises a clash between the league leaders and the bottom‑placed side – a classic ‘title‑defence vs survival’ showdown. If you’re betting, the odds are tight, so checking the latest injury updates could give you an edge.
Finally, remember that the Betway Premiership isn’t just about the big clubs. Smaller teams often produce the most exciting football, with local talents emerging each week. Keeping an eye on those under‑dogs adds another layer of fun to following the league.
Stay tuned, stay informed, and enjoy the ride – the Betway Premiership has plenty more twists before the season ends.
