Orlando Pirates vs Royal AM Predictions


Pirates looked disjointed in their opening match and haven’t been keeping clean sheets at home. Royal AM are grinding out results on the road. I see both sides scoring in this one with a draw looking like great value.

Head to Head


These sides have met on five previous occasions with Orlando Pirates leading 2-0 with three draws.

They last met in May as Royal AM scored a 92nd minute equaliser to earn a 1-1 draw at Pirates.

Orlando Pirates Form & Team News


Pirates put up a league-high 33 points from their final 15 matches last season to end second. They lifted both the MTN8 Cup and the Nedbank Cup.

Bucs ended last season on a high, beating AmaZulu 4-0 away in Round 30. They beat Sekhukhune United 2-1 in the Nedbank Cup final. 

After a productive preseason camp in Spain, Pirates lost their opening PSL match. They were beaten 1-0 at Stellenbosch in a deserved defeat.

Orlando Pirates started Zakhele Lepasa up front vs Stellenbosch after Terrence Dzvukamanja departed the club. Kermit Erasmus missed out due to an injury.

Paseko Mako could return to the XI at left back in place of Deon Hotto. Key midfielder Miguel Timm is a doubt for this match.

Orlando Pirates Predicted Lineup


Chaine; Monyane, Xoki, Sibisi, Mako; Monare, Ndlondlo; Saleng, Maswanganyi, Mofokeng; Lepasa.

Royal AM Form & Team News


Royal AM finished last season in poor form, taking just 14 points from their final 15 matches. They are currently under a FIFA transfer ban. 

They finished 2022-23 on a run of six matches without victory. A 1-1 draw at Pirates saw a late equaliser before losing 1-0 at home to Swallows and drawing 0-0 at Richards Bay.

This season’s opening day fixture saw a tight 0-0 at home to AmaZulu.

Winger Tebogo Potsane and defender Tshepo Rikhotso have both departed the club. Academy winger Sanele Radebe could start again. 

Kabelo Mahlasela missed the last match and is still doubtful.

Royal AM Predicted Lineup


Mpoto; Mogaila, Manganyi, Sikakane, Matlaba; Kobedi, Msomi; Thikazi, Masuku, Radebe; Macuphu.

Verdict

I see both sides scoring in this match. A draw looks like excellent value with Pirates not firing on all cylinders of late at home.
