South Africa's Best Bets This Week
A Packed Week of International Action Across Rugby, Cricket, Football and Horse Racing
It’s another massive week of sport, with international rugby, top-tier cricket, global football qualifiers and South African horse racing all taking centre stage. Here’s what fans and punters can look forward to across the week and weekend.
Rugby: Quilter Nations Series and World Cup Qualifiers
The November Test window continues with another thrilling round of international rugby in the Quilter Nations Series, featuring several heavyweight clashes as northern-hemisphere sides host their southern rivals. Expect fiercely contested matches as coaches fine-tune combinations ahead of next year’s global calendar.
Before the weekend’s action kicks off, attention turns to Thursday’s Rugby World Cup qualifiers, where emerging nations battle for their ticket to the 2027 tournament. Every result counts, and with momentum building, this week’s fixtures promise plenty of high-stakes rugby and betting value.
Cricket: India vs South Africa Headlines a Busy Week
Cricket fans are in for a treat as India host South Africa in the first Test, with both sides eager to make a statement early in the series. South Africa’s bowlers will face a stern test against India’s formidable top order on home soil.
Back home, the CSA T20 Challenge continues to deliver explosive domestic action, while international one-day cricket dominates elsewhere. New Zealand face West Indies in an ODI series that should provide plenty of power hitting, and Sri Lanka take on Pakistan in another eagerly anticipated 50-over contest. Across formats and continents, it’s a week packed with opportunities for punters to find form and value.
Football: African and European World Cup Qualifiers Dominate
With domestic leagues taking a break for the international window, focus shifts firmly to the FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Across Africa, nations return to action as the race to reach the 2026 World Cup intensifies. From heavyweight clashes between continental giants to crucial ties for emerging nations, every point could prove decisive.
There’s also a full slate of African international friendlies, both on home soil and abroad, providing valuable preparation time for coaches and squads. In Europe, FIFA World Cup qualifiers resume as well, giving football fans plenty to follow despite the break from league action. With no PSL or European club football this week, the international stage takes centre billing.
Horse Racing: Local Action Across South Africa
It’s a full week of South African horse racing with meetings scheduled nationwide, offering punters daily action and a variety of betting opportunities. Expect competitive fields at Durbanville, Greyville, Turffontein and other top tracks as the local racing calendar rolls on through November.
