Orlando Pirates to lean on sturdy defence for three points vs Swallows (Getty Images).

Orlando Pirates vs Moroka Swallows Predictions

Pirates are looking very solid at the back but they are not really scoring goals. Swallows don’t have a great record in this fixture. I’m backing Under 1.5 goals in the clash with Orlando Pirates tipped to take the win.

Orlando Pirates have won 2 of their last 3 PSL matches
Orlando Pirates have kept 8 clean sheets in their last 10 matches.
Orlando Pirates have seen Under 1.5 goals in 10 of their last 13 matches.
Moroka Swallows have lost 2 of their last 4 matches.
Moroka Swallows have lost 3 of their last 4 matches vs Orlando Pirates.

Head to Head

Orlando Pirates hold a 14-7 advantage over Moroka Swallows across 32 previous meetings with 11 draws.

When the sides last met in March, Pirates won 4-1 away from home.

Orlando Pirates Form & Team News

Pirates sit ninth in the PSL table but they have two matches in hand over many teams. They have kept eight clean sheets in their last ten matches in all competitions.

A 2-1 loss at whipping boys Cape Town Spurs was a terrible result. They then found themselves knocked out of the Carling Knockout Cup on penalties after drawing 0-0 at Richards Bay.

Successive league wins followed, 1-0 at home to Sekhukhune United and 1-0 at Orlando Pirates. Their last match saw a frustrating 0-0 draw in the league at Richards Bay.

Left backs Innocent Maela and Paseko Mako are missing through injury. Goalkeeper Sipho Chaine is out for this one.

Thabang Monare is suspended in midfield after a red card. Striker Zakhele Lepasa is doubtful.

Orlando Pirates Predicted Lineup

Buthelezi; Shandu, Xoki, Sibisi, Hotto; Ndlondlo, Timm; Pule, Maswanganyi, Mofokeng; Makgopa.

Moroka Swallows Form & Team News

Swallows sit sixth in the PSL with two points more than Pirates after 11 matches. Before a loss last time out, it was five matches unbeaten in the league.

After seven points in three league matches, they lost 2-1 at Richards Bay in the Carling Knockout Cup. A 1-0 home win over TS Galaxy preceded a tight 0-0 draw at Polokwane City.

Their last match saw a relatively late goal conceded to lose 1-0 at home to Kaizer Chiefs.

Coach Steve Komphela has a very settled XI. He could go with an unchanged lineup in this one.

Gabadinho Mhango is therefore set to partner Tshegofatso Mabasa up front.

Moroka Swallows Predicted Lineup

Akpeyi; Phillips, Allan, V. Sibiya, Sam; Makhubela, Jali, Phalane, Mtshali; Mhango, Mabasa.

Verdict

Orlando Pirates v Moroka Swallows

I'm backing this match to have Under 1.5 goals. I see Pirates having just about enough to take the three points.
