Cape Town City vs Orlando Pirates Prediction: The Citizens won’t lose two games in a row

The Citizens will host Orlando Pirates at the Cape Town Stadium on Saturday. The Buccaneers resumed actions after the break and suffered an away defeat in their most recent fixture. They will be eager to return to winning ways, having fallen on the wrong side of the result in their last two league outings.

Cape Town City (11th)

Last five games: LWLWL

The Citizens have been inconsistent in the past few games, with two wins in the last seven games. They returned to action after a lengthy break to a (2-1) win over Royal AM but stumbled on a slim (0-1) defeat against a resilient Supersport. Despite having more of the ball against Supersport, they failed to be effective in front of goals and were punished by the visitors, who scored in the 82nd minute. Cape Town City remained 11th on the log and are three points above the relegation spot.

Cape Town City have won three, lost twice, and drawn three in the last eight home games.

Orlando Pirates (5th)

Last five games: DDWLL

Orlando Pirates have battled for consistency throughout the campaign, winning just five of their previous fourteen games. In their last five league fixtures, they have managed just a single victory, drawing twice and losing just as many games, with a disappointing three goals scored and four conceded. More recently, the Buccaneers suffered another away defeat as they were beaten by Mamelodi Sundowns. They looked totally different and lacked passion for the game.

The result has placed them in fifth place in the standing, sixth spots above City, who are coming off a defeat of their own in their midweek assignment.

Expert Betting Tips

The last thirteen meetings have seen both sides settle for eight draws while each team has shared three victories apiece. Cape Town City are far more competitive in their recent games than the visitors. On the other hand, Orlando Pirates have rested well but still missing some key players. It might be a challenging take, but we expect the home side to win or draw and score under 3.5 goals for 2.01.

Cape Town City's win for 2.50 might be worth the risk for 2.50.

We expect BTTS No here for 1.65.

Good luck!
