Orlando Pirates vs Cape Town City Prediction: Both sides will get a goal apiece

The Buccaneers will square off with Cape Town City at the Orlando Stadium on Saturday. Both sides are unbeaten over their previous six games, but the home side are the favourite here as they look to secure champions league football.

Last five games: LWWWW

The Buccaneers have turned their season around and are now set to appear in the CAF Champions League next season. Orlando Pirates have won four consecutive games and head here after defeating Chippa United (0-2) on the road. The Buccaneers are one of the best attacking sides in the league, having scored thirty times. They are one point below Supersport, and a defeat here can cost them their spot on the standings.

Orlando Pirates have won seven, drawn two and lost three times at home this season.

Last five games: WWDDD

The Citizens settled for another stalemate and have now gone three games without a win. They are undefeated in the last five games, scoring nine times while conceding five. More recently, Cape Town City suffered another shocking setback as Amazulu came from two goals down to snatch a point on the road. Cape Town City are six points away from playing in the CAF Confederation Cup, and a victory here will see them move closer to Kaizer Chiefs in the fourth spot. They are among the most exciting teams to watch in the division, and we are confident they’ll win here.

Cape Town City have won three, lost six, and drawn three away from home this season.

Their last fifteen games have seen Orlando Pirates with three victories, while Cape Town City have recorded four wins and eight games ending in a draw. The Citizens were unlucky not to have won their last game after going (2-0) up before the break, and they were reduced to ten men as the visitors fought back to snatch a point. Orlando Pirates have kept three consecutive clean sheets over their last three games. Orlando Pirates can’t afford to miss the opportunity of leapfrogging Supersport into second place. Visitors hardly win this encounter; bet on a home win or draw and over 1.5 goals for 1.78.

We expect both sides to get a goal each here for 2.25.

Orlando Pirates should be able to secure all the points for 1.85.

Good luck!
