Orlando Pirates vs Cape Town Spurs Predictions
This match will surely only have one winner based on Spurs’ struggles this season. The recent trends show a Pirates side leaking goals at home and a Cape Town Spurs team who are starting to find the net. I see a home win with both sides on target.

Orlando Pirates Form & Team News
Pirates have lost just four of their last 30 matches but three of those losses have come in the last five. They lifted the MTN8 Cup in their last match to make it three trophies won in the last 12 months.
A surprise 1-0 first leg at Jwaneng Galaxy preceded a 1-0 home loss to Mamelodi Sundowns. They were then beaten 1-0 at home by Stellenbosch in the MTN8 semis but progressed on away goals.
Pirates then Jwaneng Galaxy 1-0 at home but lost on penalties to exit the CAF Champions League. Their last match saw a victory on penalties after a 0-0 draw after extra time in the MTN8 final with Mamelodi Sundowns.
Coach Jose Riveiro could be without some of his international players. Striker Zakhele Lepasa and left back Paseko Mako were in Abidjan on Wednesday and won’t feature.
Right winger Monnapule Saleng is a doubt. Centre back Nkosinathi Sibisi could be replaced by Olisa Ndah.
Orlando Pirates Predicted Lineup
Chaine; Monyane, Xoki, Ndah, Hotto; Timm, Monare; Saleng, Maswanganyi, Mofokeng; Erasmus.
Cape Town Spurs Form & Team News
Since their promotion via the playoffs, the Urban Warriors have lost all eight of their PSL matches. After losing three of the first four without scoring, their last four fixtures have seen defeats with both teams on target.
A 3-1 loss at Moroka Swallows saw 2-0 down after just eight minutes. Spurs lost 2-1 at home to Golden Arrows having led 1-0 after that.
Another 3-1 loss in the Cape derby to Cape Town City again saw a 1-0 lead surrendered. Last time out, they again led 1-0 but lost 2-1 at home to SuperSport United as they conceded in the 86th minute.
Caretaker coach Sean Connor is set to recall Ashley Cupido in attack. Veteran defender Clayton Daniels is not expected to feature.
Left back Siyanda Msani is poised to return. Spurs could use a 3-5-2 formation to try to eke out a result.
Cape Town Spurs Predicted Lineup
Ramsbottom; Allie, Haukongo, Dortley; Lukhubeni, Nel, Buchanan, Morton, Msani; Cupido, Moosa.
Verdict
I'm tipping Pirates to win this match. I see them winning with BTTS Yes as a value bet.
