Belouizdad vs Orlando Pirates Predictions


A good game awaits with Pirates depleted at the back and facing prolific striker Islam Slimani. Pirates are flying right now and are backed to avoid defeat in Algeria.

Head to Head


This is the first-ever meeting between these clubs.

Belouizdad Form & Team News


CR Belouizdad have been inconsistent this season. Prior to two recent wins, they were on a six-match winless streak with just two goals scored. 

After three straight 0-0 stalemates, they lost 3-2 at home to El Bayadh. Two more blanks were fired in a 0-0 home draw at USM Alger and in a 1-0 away defeat to NC Magra. 

They have won their last two matches to restore some confidence. A 2-0 win at ES Mostaganem preceded a 3-1 victory at MC Alger.

Captain and veteran striker Islam Slimani is back from an injury to start. Coach Abdelkader Amrani is set to leave South African forward Khanyisa Mayo on the bench.

Centre forward Merouane Zerrouki has missed the last seven matches and remains a doubt.

Belouizdad Predicted Lineup


Zeghba; Benayada, Souyad, Keddad, Laouafi; Mbe, Benguit, Selmi; Boussouf, Slimane, Meziane.

Orlando Pirates Form & Team News


Pirates are having an exceptional season. They’ve lifted a trophy and have won all seven of their league matches so far. 

They beat Stellenbosch 3-1 in the MTN8 final before a shock 3-2 home loss to Magesi in the Carling Knockout Cup. Four successive league wins have followed that giant killing they were victims of.

A 2-0 home win over SuperSport United was followed by a 2-1 home win over AmaZulu. They won 2-0 at TS Galaxy and 1-0 at home to Richards Bay before the international break. 

Centre back Olisa Ndah is out injured. Fellow central defender Tapelo Xoki should be ready to return to the squad after knee surgery.

A big call for coach Jose Riveiro is whether to start young winger Mohau Nkota in a game of this magnitude. 

Orlando Pirates Predicted Lineup


Chaine; Monyane, Sibisi, Sesane, Hotto; Makhaula, Mbatha; Nkota, Maswangayi, Mofokeng; Mabasa.

Verdict

I'm backing a game with both sides scoring twice and it finishing in a score draw.
