Orlando Pirates vs Belouizdad Predictions


Pirates won the reverse fixture and are backed to win again here. Belouizdad are playing well but they’re not the best travellers in this competition. I’m tipping Bucs to score 2+ goals.

  • Orlando Pirates have won 15 of their last 20 matches.

  • Belouizdad have lost 2 of their last 3 away CAF Champions League. 

Head to Head


These sides have met on just one previous occasion.

Pirates won 2-1 in Algeria when the sides met in November.

Orlando Pirates Form & Team News


Pirates have won 15 of their last 20 matches across all competitions. In the CAF Champions League, they have eight points from four group matches.

After successive CAF draws, they smashed Marumo Gallants 8-1 in a league match. A hard-fought 1-0 win followed at Magesi FC before cruising past Stade d’Abidjan 3-0 at home last weekend. 

On Wednesday, they suffered a 1-0 loss away at Cape Town City.

Central midfielder Miguel Timm and central defender Olisa Ndah are out injured. Winger Monnapule Saleng is out of favour. 

Veteran defensive midfielder Makhehlene Makhaula is back from suspension and will start.

Orlando Pirates Predicted Lineup


Chaine; Van Rooyen, Sibisi, Sesane, Hotto; Makhaula, Mbatha; Nkota, Maswanganyi, Mofokeng; Mabasa.

Belouizdad Form & Team News


Belouizdad have been in largely excellent form of late. They have six points from four group stages in the CAF Champions League. 

A 1-0 win away vs Stade d’Abidjan was followed by a 3-0 home league win over Saoura. A shock 6-1 loss away to Al Ahly followed having led 1-0. 

They’ve bounced back with three straight wins, starting with a 1-0 home league win over Olympique Akbou. A 91st-minute goal sealed a surprise 1-0 home win over Al Ahly before beating Zaouia in the Coupe Nationale. 

Coach Abdelkader Amrani could name an unchanged XI from the last CAF Champions match. 

Veteran striker Islam Slimani may again be used as a substitute with Aymen Mahious leading the line with Khanyisa Mayo in support.

Belouizdad Predicted Lineup


Zeghba; Benayada, Keddad, Hadded, Khacef; Selmi, Benguit; Belkhir, Mayo, Meziane; Mahious.

Verdict

I see Pirates winning at home and scoring 2+ goals in the victory.
