Orlando Pirates vs SuperSport United Predictions
Bucs had been in great form before a complacent showing led to a cup exit. SuperSport are struggling at both ends right now. I see a home win to zero here.

The sides met in the MTN8 Cup in August as Pirates won 3-1 in extra time.
Orlando Pirates Form & Team News
Pirates had won seven straight matches before their shock cup exit last Saturday. They had lifted a domestic cup and had won all three of their Betway Premiership matches.
Their league campaign began with a 2-1 home win over Chippa United and a 3-0 home win vs Polokwane City. A 1-0 win at Richards Bay continued their perfect PSL start.
Two late goals saw a 3-1 MTN8 Cup final win over Stellenbosch thanks to a refereeing howler. On Saturday, they lost 3-2 at home to Magesi in the Carling Knockout having trailed 3-0 at half-time.
Coach Jose Riveiro is without key defender Olisa Ndah for the next three months. Tapelo Xoki is back in training but this match comes too soon for the centre back.
Thalente Mbatha remains an injury doubt. Miguel Timm is also absent in the engine room.
Orlando Pirates Predicted Lineup
Chaine; Van Rooyen, Sesane, Sibisi, Hotto; Rasebotja, Dlamini; Gilberto, Maswanganyi, Mofokeng; Mabasa.
SuperSport United Form & Team News
SuperSport have have lost four of their six matches this season in all competitions. Their last 19 league fixtures have seen just three victories.
This season started by losing 3-1 at Orlando Pirates in the MTN8 and 2-0 vs Mamelodi Sundowns in the PSL. A 0-0 home draw vs Royal AM was followed by a much-needed 1-0 home win vs TS Galaxy.
Two defeats have followed. They lost 1-0 at Cape Town City before the FIFA break and were thumped 4-0 at home on Saturday by Kaizer Chiefs in the Carling Knockout Cup.
Coach Gavin Hunt dropped veteran defender Thulani Hlatshwayo for the last match. He is set for a recall here after their defensive woes against Chiefs.
Key striker Bradley Grobler and top midfielder Grant Margeman are out long-term. Ghampani Lungu will also play no part due to injury and Gape Moralo is suspended in midfield.
SuperSport United Predicted Lineup
Goss; Mobbie, Sanoka, Hlatshwayo, Rapoo; Ayer, Ndlovu, Poggenpoel; Pule, Dzvukamanja, Morris.
Verdict
I see Pirates winning this match on current form. SuperSport are struggling to score goals of late so a home clean sheets looks likely.
