Maritzburg vs Orlando Pirates Prediction: The visitors will secure their fourth win of the season

Orlando Pirates will visit Maritzburg at the Harry Gwala Stadium on Sunday. Both teams haven’t been bad in recent games; however, the visitors pose more threats than the home side.

Maritzburg (11th)

Last five matches: LDDWL

The Blue Army have only won once this season, scoring three times while conceding six. Nothing really special about them as they have been playing below par, and their only win came against an average Chippa United. 

More recently, they were beaten by Royal AM away from home. Though the loss was just a goal, they were not totally bad in that encounter. 

Maritzburg have won once and drawn twice at home this season. 

Orlando Pirates (1st)

Last five matches: DLWDW

The Buccaneers have upped their game since the defeat against Chippa United. The Buccaneers have won three times this season with two draws and a defeat. Two goals have been conceded so far while scoring four times.

Pirates have picked up eleven points from a possible eighteen in the last six games. Pirates have been playing good football so far, just that their striking force has not been up and doing. 

This season, the Buccaneers moved away from co-coaching and appointed a leader in Riveiro, who didn’t do badly in his previous job in Finland, where he was in charge of FC Inter Turku.

The pirates have won once and lost once in the last two games at home.
