Orlando Pirates vs Stellenbosch Predictions

This fixture pits two in-form teams against each other. Both are losing very few matches and aren’t leaking many goals. I am tipping this to finish in a 1-1 draw.

Stellenbosch Predicted Lineup

Orlando Pirates are undefeated in 12 their last 14 matches.
Orlando Pirates have seen Under 2.5 goals in 14 of their last 7 matches.
Stellenbosch are undefeated in their last 10 matches.
Stellenbosch have scored exactly 1 goal in each of their last 2 matches.

Head to Head

Orlando Pirates hold a 5-3 advantage over Stellenbosch across 12 previous meetings with four draws.

The sides last met in September as Stellenbosch won 1-0 at Pirates in the MTN8 Cup.

Orlando Pirates Form & Team News

Pirates were on a run of five wins and a draw in six matches. They lost their last match to drop to fourth in the table.

Following a surprise 0-0 draw at Richards Bay, they won three successive matches. A 2-0 home win over Moroka Swallows preceded a 1-0 home success against TS Galaxy.

After beating Golden Arrows 2-1 away last Sunday, Pirates lost on Saturday. They were beaten 3-1 at SuperSport United having led 1-0.

Coach Jose Riveiro could select Deon Hotto at left back again. Specialist fullback Innocent Maela is back from injury but is lacking match fitness.

Paseka Mako is injured in defence. Winger Vincent Pule is an injury doubt.

Orlando Pirates Predicted Lineup

Buthelezi; Makaringe, Xoki, Ndah, Hotto; Timm, Ndlondlo; Maswanganyi, Lorch, Mofokeng; Makgopa.

Stellenbosch Form & Team News

Stellies have seen wins and two draws in their last ten matches. They lifted their first-ever silverware in their last match.

A 1-0 PSL win at AmaZulu was followed by a 3-0 victory over Cape Town Spurs. They beat Richards Bay 3-0 away in the Cup semi-final and then won the derby 1-0 at home against Cape Town City.

Stellenbosch last played two weeks ago in the Cup final. They won on penalties after a 1-1 draw after extra time against TS Galaxy.

Coach Steve Barker is without suspended left back Fawaaz Basadien. Qobolwakhe Sibande is set to deputise in that role.

Darrel Matsheke could be handed a start in the engine room. He has performed well of late when handed a place in the XI.

Stellenbosch Predicted Lineup

Stephens; Van Rooyen, Maloisane, Toure, Sibande; Palace, Matsheke; Titus, Adams, Oura; Rayners.

Verdict

Orlando Pirates v Stellenbosch

I'm predicting this match to end in a draw. I see a 1-1 scoreline in the clash.
