Orlando Pirates vs Chippa United Prediction: The Buccaneers will do the double over their opponent

The Buccaneers will face off against Chippa United at the Orlando Stadium on Wednesday. Orlando Pirates head here with six consecutive wins in all competitions, while the visiting team lost three straight matches in all competitions. The Soweto Giant have enjoyed a larger victory over their opponent in recent years, as they are undefeated against the visitors in their last three meetings. 

Last five games: DWWWW

The Buccaneers are running rampant in the division, heading here with six straight victories. Orlando Pirates secured a spot in the final of the Nedbank Cup after knocking out Chippa United in the semifinals. Before then, they scored twice against Cape Town United on the road to secure the maximum points. The Soweto giants have found the back of the net fourteen times over their last four games in the league while conceding just a goal. 

The result means they have now won four in their previous five games league matches. Orlando Pirates have a long way to go in their attempt to play CAF Champions League football next season. They are presently back in the race as they trail the second spot with three points. 

Orlando Pirates have won eight, drawn twice, and lost twice at home this season.

After three consecutive league wins, Chippa United have lost back-to-back games. They suffered a defeat on the road against AmaZulu, conceding twice despite winning before the break—the same scenario against Moroka Swallows away from home. The Chilli Boys are back struggling in the league but are safe to remain in the division. 

This season, Chippa United have recorded eight victories, eight stalemates, and ten defeats. 

Chippa United have managed to win three on the road over their previous twelve, and they’ll have to up their game to get anything in this encounter.

In the last twenty league meetings between the two teams, the Buccaneers have emerged winners on sixteen occasions and Chippa United two wins, while two games have ended in a tie. Their recent meeting was a few days ago, where Orlando Pirates scored three while Chippa responded once on their ground in the Nedbank Cup semi-final. 

The Buccaneers are eyeing the CAF Champions League spot, while the visitors have nothing to play for this season. Orlando Pirates can’t underestimate their opponent, even though they had a smooth sail against them a few days ago. The visitors will try not to lose back-to-back against the Soweto giants; however, the hosts have a bigger aim before the end of this campaign: bet on a home win and over 1.5 goals for 1.75.

We expect the hosts to get a halftime victory for 1.88.

We believe this encounter won’t produce a BTTS for 1.67.

Good luck!
