Bank on home wins in the Cup

The 2024-25 football season is well into the home straight and TAB is ratcheting up the excitement this weekend with over R800,000 in bonus add-ins and carryovers spread across six different pools, plus there's a guaranteed R5.7-million jackpot pool for punters who correctly forecast the outcome of all 13 matches in Sunday's Soccer13.

There's loads of great soccer betting action for TAB soccer customers this weekend, but the focus will be on the semi-finals of the Nedbank Cup.

Both matches will be played on Sunday to give Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates maximum time to recover from their midweek exertions in their CAF Champions League quarter-final second legs.

Sundowns played Esperance in Tunisia last night and return to host Kaizer Chiefs in the Nedbank Cup semis.

Pirates are at home to MC Alger tonight in the second leg of their continental clash. The Buccaneers then take on unfancied Marumo Gallants in the first of the semi-finals on Sunday at the Orlando Stadium.

The smart choice in your TAB soccer bets is to banker home wins (Team A) in both games and count on a repeat of last season's Nedbank Cup final between current holders Pirates and league champions Sundowns.
