Orlando Pirates vs Polokwane City Prediction: The visitors will at least get a goal here

The Buccaneers will face off against Polokwane City at the Orlando Stadium on Friday. Orlando Pirates have won their last four consecutive games against the visitors; even though they’re the favorite here, it won’t be a walk in the park for them.

Last five games: WDWLD

The Buccaneers have now failed to win any of their last two league games. Following their slim (0-1) home defeat against Mamelodi Sundowns, Pirates had 63% of the ball but managed just a goal on target throughout the game. They were the better side against Amazulu; however, the resilient defense of the home team denied them the opportunity to secure the maximum points.

The Buccaneers are in a strange spot on the log after six games, having picked up eight points from a possible eighteen.

With the return of Saleng and Lepasa for the Buccaneers, Orlando Pirates are the favorite to win here.

Orlando Pirates are well prepared for this tournament after their elimination in the CAF Champions League.

Last five games: LDWWD

The visitors have been slightly above average this season, with four wins, two stalemates, and three defeats in the league. More recently in the PSL, Polokwane City settled for a share of the spoils against Sekhukhune United, just after their (0-1) victory over ten men Richards Bay.

Polokwane City have scored eight and conceded seven times this season. They have also won once, drawn a game, and lost twice on the road this season.

Over their previous eight meetings, Orlando Pirates have won eight while Polokwane City have managed three wins and seven games ending in a share of the spoils. The Buccaneers can’t afford to drop points here, while the visitors won’t bow easily. Orlando Pirates are boosted by the return of Saleng and Lepasa, who have been two of their best player of late. Furthermore, they will strive to make up for their lost points against Amazulu on the road; we expect them to win here for 1.78.

Polokwane City scored four times against Supersport United, and we have a feeling they’ll at least get a goal here; bet on BTTS for 2.14.

A correct score of (2-1) might surface here for 8.50.

Good luck!
