House Edge: 6.4597% and 9.40%

kd60b8,

The first side bet is called "Royal Match"; the second is "Pair Square". These have been analyzed by the Wizard of Odds: see link below and search for those side bet names.

Note that, since the House Edge is positive, the Player's Edge is negative. Thus, in the absence of further information, you should avoid playing these side bets.

Hope this helps!
