Chippa United vs Orlando Pirates Prediction: The Buccaneers will break down the home team’s defence

On Tuesday, Chippa United will welcome Orlando Pirates at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium. The home side are yet to concede in any of their last three games, while the visitors are the best-attacking side in the division.

The Chilli Boys began their campaign with a (0-0) share of the spoils against Kaizer Chiefs on the road. Chippa United ensured they left with a point after failing to convert their chances and also not allowing their opponent an option in their box. Chippa United was unable to score for the second time when they played out a toothless draw with TS Galaxy at home.

The Chilli Boys survived relegation last season, picking up thirty points from a possible ninety. They escaped the relegation playoffs with just a goal difference, scoring twenty-nine while conceding forty-four times. Chippa are an average side and have always struggled in the division.

Coach Morgan Mammila is a good gaffer, and we expect him to at least finish the season among the top eight this season.

The Buccaneers failed to convert their chances as they were beaten by Stellenbosch United on the road. Orlando Pirates' opening game ended in a (1-0) defeat when A. Van Wyk scored for the home side and defended their lead. More recently, they scored four times in the league while conceding twice against Royal AM. It was one of the most entertaining games of the rounds as Orlando Pirates converted four of their shots on target.

Orlando Pirates' influential midfielder, Monnapule Saleng, who had the best goals/assists last season, will be desperate for the golden boot after falling short by a goal last season.

The Buccaneers are tipped to challenge Mamelodi Sundowns for the title this season, and a win here will further boost their confidence.

Over their previous twenty meetings, Orlando Pirates have won fourteen while Chippa United have won five and a game ending in a share of the spoils. The Buccaneers have been fantastic since the beginning of the season, even though they failed to win their opening game. On the other hand, Chippa United have been unable to score or win any of their last two games in the league. This encounter will be interesting as the visitors will strive to break Chippa United's stubborn defence and as well ensuring they score more than once. Orlando Pirates have won at Chippa United in seven consecutive matches, and we are trusting them to triumph here for 1.80.

We expect to see less than two goals here for 1.50.

Orlando Pirates might even secure a halftime win here for 2.38.

Good luck!
