Orlando Pirates vs Stellenbosch Predictions


Bucs are in outstanding form whilst Stellies may be fatigued after flying from Mali. Pirates had an extra rest day and are tipped to win this match. I see a victory to zero.

Orlando Pirates Form & Team News


Pirates are flying right now with 12 wins in the last 13 matches. They sit top of the PSL table and have a trophy under their belt already. 

Bucs beat Stellenbosch 3-1 in the MTN8 final before a shock 3-2 loss at home to Magesi in the Carling Knockout Cup. Five straight wins have followed, as they beat SuperSport United 2-0 and AmaZulu 2-1 in home league fixtures.

A 2-0 victory at TS Galaxy and 1-0 home win over Richards Bay followed. On Tuesday, they went to Algeria and beat Belouizdad 2-1 in the CAF Champions League. 

Centre backs Olisa Ndah Tapelo Xoki are all out injured. Young winger Mohau Nkota will start after scoring two braces in the last four matches.

Miguel Timm is injured in midfield for this one but Deano Van Rooyen is fit again at right back.

Orlando Pirates Predicted Lineup


Chaine; Monyane, Sibisi, Sesane, Hotto; Makhaula, Mbatha; Nkota, Maswangayi, Mofokeng; Makgopa.

Stellenbosch Form & Team News


Stellies sit fourth in the Betway Premiership table. They’ve lost two of their last three matches with both defeats coming in cup fixtures. 

They responded to losing the MTN8 final by beating AmaZulu 2-1 in the Carling Cup and winning 2-0 at Chippa United in the PSL. After a 0-0 draw at Richards Bay, they beat Marumo Gallants 1-0 in the PSL. 

They faced the same opponents three days later and lost 1-0 away in the Carling Knockout Cup. After a 1-1 home draw vs TS Galaxy, they lost 2-0 away to Stade Malien Bamako on Wednesday in the CAF Champions League.

Coach Steve Barker could freshen up his side having travelled directly from Mali to Johannesburg for this match. Striker Lehlohonolo Mojela is still out injured. 

Centre back Olivier Toure is available after serving a suspension on Wednesday. Young winger Landelihle Phili could be handed a start whilst midfielder Jayden Adams is suspended.

Stellenbosch Predicted Lineup


Stephens; Jurgens, Maloisane, Toure, Basadien; Adams, Nduli; Titus, De Jong, Phili; Cupido.

Verdict

I see Pirates having too much here. I'm backing a win to zero and a win on the -1 handicap. A 2-0 correct score bet looks like great value.
