A few days after their humiliating display on the road, the Buccaneers will be keen to flip the script when they face off against Chippa United at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium. The Chilli Boys will also hope to end their three games without a breakthrough on their home turf.

The Chilli Boys head here with a toothless stalemate against Richards Bay on the road to recover from their recent loss at home. They were lucky to have picked up a point as Stanley Nwabali walked home with the man of the match award after his decent display in goal. This was after their shocking (0-1) loss against Sekhukhune United at home.
Chippa United have played eighteen times in the league, with exceptional performances against top teams and not teams below them. They have picked up twenty-two points from a combined fifty-four, scoring seventeen and conceding sixteen.

Orlando Pirates (2nd)
Last five games: WWLWL
The Buccaneers are one of the most inconsistent teams in the division as they head here with another loss on the road. This time, they were beaten by the newly promoted Marumo Gallants. Orlando Pirates lack the killer instinct, and they’d rather dominate teams than put the ball at the back of the net. This was after their comeback win over Cape Town City at home.
The Buccaneers have been inconsistent lately, heading here with three wins in six league games.
Orlando Pirates have had a mixed season, scoring twenty-eight times this campaign while conceding only thirteen goals. The Buccaneers have lost three times and won four times on the road this season.
Expert Betting Tips
Over their previous ten meetings, Chippa United have managed a win while Orlando Pirates FC have won seven and two games ending in a tie. The hosts have been inconsistent lately, heading here without a win in four games. The Chilli Boys' best player so far is goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali, who has been immense for his side.
Chippa United will face off against Orlando Pirates FC at home tomorrow, and it’ll be interesting to see how they respond, having failed to win their last three home games.
Orlando Pirates have not lost back-to-back games this season, and after their ordeal against Marumo Gallants on the road, a positive response is required of them here; bet on the away team to score before the break for 1.75 at (1xbet).
I'd rather back the guests here as they’ll be at the top of their game, but I expect an open encounter with goals at both ends; bet on an away win or draw and over 1.5 goals for 1.60 at (Betway).
Orlando Pirates are going to start strong, and they might definitely win before the break for 2.13 at (Bet365).
Good luck!
