Orlando Pirates vs Richards Bay Predictions


Based on Bucs’ current top form, they should win this match. A tight affair is tipped without only one side on target. I’m backing Pirates to win to zero.

Head to Head


These sides sit at 2-2 across six previous meetings with two draws.

When the clubs met in September, Pirates scored a late goal to win 1-0.

Orlando Pirates Form & Team News


Bucs have lost just once all season and have won all six of their league matches. Pirates lifted the MTN8 Cup in October.

A 3-1 win over Stellenbosch in that MTN8 final made it eight successive victories. A shock 3-2 home loss to Magesi in the Carling Knockout Cup. 

Three league wins have followed, starting with a 2-0 home victory over SuperSport United. The Sea Robbers won 2-1 at home to AmaZulu and 2-0 at TS Galaxy in their last match. 

Centre back Olisa Ndah is ruled out for the rest of 2024. Fellow starting central defender Tapelo Xoki is nearing a return after knee surgery. 

Young winger Mohau Nkota could get a third start league start. Miguel Timm is injured in midfield but fullback Paseko Mako is available again. 

Orlando Pirates Predicted Lineup


Chaine; Monyana, Sibisi, Sesane, Hotto; Makhaula, Mbatha; Nkoka, Maswangayi, Mofokeng; Mabasa.

Richards Bay Form & Team News


The Rich Boyz have played eight matches this season with just two wins. Their last five PSL matches have yielded just two points.

A 1-0 win over Sekhukhune United in the Carling Knockout Cup was followed by a 0-0 home draw vs Stellenbosch in the PSL. Richards Bay followed that with a 2-0 loss away to Sekhukhune United.

On Saturday, they progressed into the semis of the Carling KO Cup. A 0-0 draw at home to Cape Town City was followed by a win on penalties.

Defensive midfielder Langelihle Mhlongo is suspended after a red card. Coach Brandon Truter rotated his XI in the cup and could recall some usual starters.

Tshepo Mabua is set to return at left back and wingers Somila Ntsundwana and Justice Figuareido are expected to be in the XI. 

Richards Bay Predicted Lineup


Otieno; Mabuya, Allan, Mcineka. Mabau; Mthethwa, Mthembu; Figuareido, Sithebe, Ntsundwana; Sibyanyoni.

Verdict

I see Pirates winning this match with a clean sheet.
