Orlando Pirates vs Amazulu Prediction: The home side will not lose here

Orlando Pirates will perhaps play one of their most important games of the season against a stubborn Amazulu side in the final of the MTN8 competition. In their quest for their first trophy since triumphing at the same venue two years ago, the Buccaneers meet an ambitious Usuthu outfit determined to spoil the party this weekend.

The Buccaneers secured the ticket to this round after recording one of the most shocking results of the season against Mamelodi Sundowns. Orlando Pirates scored three unanswered goals against the champions to secure passage to the final.

Orlando Pirates have had a rough path to the season in the league with the recent setback against arch-rival Kaizer Chiefs.

Orlando Pirates will be hopeful of securing the MTN8 title after losing out in the CAF Confederation Cup final a few months ago.

They have been a dark horse in this tournament; they have shocked everyone with their resilience spirit. They edged Cape Town City in the quarterfinals before knocking out Kaizer Chiefs on an away goal difference. They have been exciting so far and will hopefully win the cup.

They have not lost more than a goal this season, and we are confident they will put up an outstanding performance against the Buccaneers.

Amazulu have won once, while Orlando Pirates have won nine and eleven draws have been recorded in the last twenty meetings.

Orlando Pirates are the best team in this competition; they know the visitors are a great defensive side, and we are confident they will neutralise them. It’s a significant risk; however, a home win for Orlando Pirates might be worth the risk at 1.98.

We might see a halftime draw here for 1.80.

Bet on both halves under 1.5 goals for 1.80.

Good luck!
