Mamelodi Sundowns vs Orlando Pirates Predictions

Sundowns could have plenty of players unavailable but they rarely lose to Pirates. Bucs don’t tend to score against Masandawana and I’m backing a home win to zero here.

The sides last met in October in a 0-0 draw in the MTN8 Cup. Pirates progressed on penalties.

Mamelodi Sundowns Form & Team News

Sundowns have won 11 of their 13 PSL matches. They’ve leaked just three league goals.

They rested their entire XI but still beat Cape Town Spurs 3-0 at home. A 1-0 win in Egypt at Pyramids FC preceded a cagey 0-0 draw at Cape Town City.

After their opponents Moroka Swallows failed to show up, a 3-0 win was awarded to Mamelodi Sundowns. Their last fixture brought a 0-0 home draw vs Polokwane City.

Coach Rhulani Mokwena had 11 players away at the African Cup of Nations. Peter Shalulile is set to play but the ten Bafana Bafana players only arrived home on Wednesday.

Attacking midfielders Tashreeq Matthews and Thembinkosi Lorch were among four signings made in January.

Mamelodi Sundowns Predicted Lineup

Pieterse; Mdunyelwa, De Reuck, Lebusa, Boutouil; Coetzee, Allende, Mbule; Lorch; Ribeiro, Shalulile.

Orlando Pirates Form & Team News

Pirates lost their final two matches of last year. They had previously strung together five wins in six matches with one draw.

A 2-0 win at home over Moroka Swallows preceded a 1-0 home win against TS Galaxy. After a 2-1 victory at Golden Arrows, they lost twice in a row.

They lost 3-1 at SuperSport United and then 3-2 at home to Stellenbosch. They led 2-0 after 68 minutes before throwing away three points.

Coach Jose Riveiro has four doubtful players due to Bafana Bafana duty. Evidence Makgopa and Zakhele Lepasa may not feature in attack.

Thembinkosi Lorch was sold to Mamelodi Sundowns and could face his former club. Tshegofatso Mabasa has been recalled from a loan at Moroka Swallows and may play up front.

Orlando Pirates Predicted Lineup

Buthelezi; Makaringe, Xoki, Ndah, Hotto; Timm, Ndlondlo; Maswanganyi, Kimvuidi, Mofokeng; Mabasa.
