Orlando Pirates vs Sekhukhune United Predictions
Pirates are favourites for this one due to their strong scoring form at home. Sekhukhune won’t make it easy but I see them being knocked out. Bucs are backed to win with two goals scored and a clean sheet.

Orlando Pirates Form & Team News
Bucs finished second last season and won both the MTN8 Cup and the Nedbank Cup. They picked up more league points from rounds 16 to 30 that any other team.
Pirates ended last season by winning 4-0 at AmaZulu and then beating Sekhukhune 2-1 in the Nedbank Cup final. This season began with a disappointing 1-0 loss at Stellenbosch in a disjoined performance.
In midweek, they got back on track by beating Royal AM 4-2 at home. They led 3-0 after 35 minutes but could their foot off the gas after that.
Coach Jose Riveiro is without injured midfielder Miguel Timm. Both Thembinkosi Lorch and Kabelo Dlamini are absent in attacking areas.
Striker Kermit Erasmus is ruled out so Zakhele Lepasa will lead the line.
Orlando Pirates Predicted Lineup
Chaine; Monyane, Xoki, Sibisi, Mako; Monare, Ndlondlo; Saleng, Maswanganyi, Mofokeng; Lepasa.
Sekhukhune United Form & Team News
Sekhukhune ended in seventh place in the PSL last season thanks to their home form. They were beaten in the Nedbank Cup final as they missed out on silverware.
Their league season ended with a 1-0 home win against SuperSport United. A 2-1 loss in the Nedbank Cup final followed as they conceded in the 94th minute.
This season began with a 2-1 home loss to Mamelodi Sundowns with ten men. They responded well to win 2-0 at Cape Town Spurs thanks to two second-half goals.
Coach Brandon Truter is without suspended winger Vusimuzi Mncube. New signing Tiklas Thutlwa is set to take his place.
It’s expected to be an unchanged XI for the win over Spurs. New midfielders Rally Bwalya and Jamie Webber will both start.
Sekhukhune United Predicted Lineup
Sangare; Mobbie, Cardoso, Gyimah, Ntiya-Ntiya; Mokotjo, Bwalya, Webber; Mokwana, Ohizu, Thutlwa.
Verdict
The odds for this match are yet to be released. I am backing a Pirates win to zero and Over 1.5 Team Goals for Pirates.
