Orlando Pirates vs Stellenbosch Predictions
Pirates lost in midweek but their home form has been very strong of late. Stellies are having a major dip in results and sold a key player this week. I am backing a home win with 2+ goals scored by the Sea Robbers.

The sides met three weeks ago in the MTN8 semi-final first leg as Pirates won 2-1 away.
Orlando Pirates Form & Team News
Pirates have lost successive matches having won six of their first seven games of the season. Prior to those two defeats, it was one loss in 25 matches.
A 2-0 home win against Cape Town City in the PSL came before a 2-1 win away at ten-man Stellenbosch FC in the MTN8. A surprising 1-0 loss away to Jwaneng Galaxy in Botswana followed.
In midweek, they produced just one shot on target in a 1-0 home loss to Mamelodi Sundowns.
Coach Jose Riveiro is set to recall Phillip Ndlondlo after suspension. Deon Hotto is set to start on the left wing.
No other changes are expected to the starting XI despite the midweek defeat to Sundowns.
Orlando Pirates Predicted Lineup
Chaine; Shandu, Xoki, Sibisi, Mako; Ndlondlo, Monare; Saleng, Maswanganyi, Hotto; Lepasa.
Stellenbosch Form & Team News
Stellies have lost four of their last five matches in all competitions. They’ve scored just once in their last four fixtures.
The Winelands Club won three of their first four matches of the season in all competitions. Three home losses defeat as they lost 2-1 to SuperSport United, 2-0 to Kaizer Chiefs (with ten men) and 2-1 to Orlando Pirates (also with ten men).
A 0-0 draw at Golden Arrows followed. In midweek, Stellies lost 2-0 at home to Moroka Swallows as they played the final 30 odd minutes with ten men.
Coach Steve Barker has centre back Thabo Maloisane back from suspension. Olivier Toure is banned at the back after his midweek red card.
Right back Deano Van Rooyen is doubtful with concussion. Key midfielder Sibongiseni Mthethwa was sold this week to Kaizer Chiefs.
Stellenbosch Predicted Lineup
Stephens; Mphahlele, Maloisane, Mcaba, Basadien; Palace, Nduli; Titus, Adams, Sibande; Rayners.
Verdict
I see Pirates winning this match in 90 minutes. I also see them scoring Over 1.5 goals as a team.
