Jwaneng Galaxy vs Orlando Pirates Predictions
Pirates make the short trip to Gaborone and are overwhelming favourites to win the first leg. Their away form is excellent and they’re scoring goals freely. I am backing an away win to zero with Bucs scoring Over 1.5 goals as a team.

South African coach Morena Ramoreboli has a fully fit squad to choose from for this match.
Midfielder Gilbert Baruti scored against Vipers last time out from the bench. He is pushing to start this match.

Phoko, Leinanyane, Thulare, Molefe, Mangolo, Sechele, Moyo, Baruti, Masuku, Kebatho, Sesinyi.

After a steady 2-0 home win over Cape Town City, Pirates won 2-1 at Stellenbosch in the MTN8 semis first leg. They played against ten men from the 38th minute and only got the winner in the 94th minute.
Coach Jose Riveiro is set to play a full strength lineup in this match. Zakhele Lepasa has 10 goals this season already and will lead the attack.
Midfielder Miguel Timm is back from injury and could feature. Playmaker Thembinkosi Lorch is ruled out with a long-term injury.

The odds are yet to be released. I will be backing Pirates to win with relative ease. A victory to zero and a win on the handicap are my tips.
