Orlando Pirates vs Supersport United Prediction: Both teams have a lot to play for here, but the hosts are the closest to securing the maximum points

On Tuesday, the Buccaneers will face off against Supersport United in what seems to be a must-win game for both teams at the Orlando Stadium. Orlando Pirates head here with defeats in the league cup, the same as Spartans, who conceded four times against Kaizer Chiefs. 

The Buccaneers continued their fine form to the season with a slim (0-1) victory over Richards Bay. Orlando Pirates left it late as they scored in the 82nd minute to amass all the points. Orlando Pirates then suffered a shocking loss on their ground against Magesi in the Cup game. 

Orlando Pirates have now scored six times this campaign while conceding once. Jose Riveiro's men presently sit in the second spot on the log, winning three consecutive matches. 

The Buccaneers have not lost on their home ground in the league since June, and they'll be determined to maintain their momentum here. 

Gavin Hunt's side have had a poor start to the season; just as they have failed to win any of their last two league games, Supersport United lost by four goals at home to Kaizer Chiefs. In the league, they surrendered a (1-0) loss against Cape Town City on the road. 

Supersport United have managed just one win over their previous seven games in all competitions. They have only scored twice in all competitions this campaign and have conceded ten.

The guests have won just once on the road over their previous eight league matches. 

Over their previous twenty meetings, Supersport United have won eight while Orlando Pirates have recorded six wins and six games ending in a tie. The Spartans have struggled all season and have managed one goal in the league since the season began. They head here with a heavy defeat in the Carling Cup against Kaizer Chiefs on their home ground. On the other hand, Orlando Pirates lost their first game of the season against Magesi in the league cup. 

Orlando Pirates have won six of their last seven games on their ground against Supersport United, and with the task of returning to winning ways, we believe they stand a better chance here; bet on a home win for 1.71.

Supersport will be keen to at least get a goal here, but it’s unrealistic as they have scored just once in their last four league matches; bet on BTTS No for 1.53.

We expect the hosts to score before the break for 1.85.

Good luck!
