After their loss in the Soweto Derby, Orlando Pirates will be seeking a return to winning ways when they play away to Golden Arrows on Saturday. The two sides go to this game separated by eight points with Golden Arrows in eighth place with 31 points while Pirates have 39 points and are third. With eight games to play, Arrows are right to target a top three place but how will this clash play out, with Pirates seeking a win that will get them back in the fray as a title contender. It has not been a very rosy run for Arrows in their recent matches; they took an early lead against Highlands Park in their last match but could not hold on for a win, and ended up drawing 1-1. Before that, they needed a very late goal to beat bottom side, AmaZulu 2-1, after being eliminated from the Cup by VUT Students. Their elimination came after a labored win over SuperSport United, where they needed an own goal to collect maximum points. Arrows are unbeaten in their last three PSL matches but in the last 10, they have won just three. They have scored more than one goal in just one of their last 11 PSL matches and in the last five league games at home, they haven’t netted more than a goal in the last five.
Before their loss to Kaizer Chiefs, Pirates had not lost in 10 PSL matches. This is the form they will want in this game. They have one loss and six wins in their last seven PSL matches and failed to score in just one of the last 12. They are unbeaten in the last five away matches in the PSL and each of the last three ended in wins. In four of their last six away matches in the PSL, Pirates have scored two or more goals but only have one clean sheet. They are unbeaten in six matches against Arrows, but three of these have ended in draws. Six of their last eight meetings have ended in under 2.5 goals.

Our Golden Arrows vs Orlando Pirates Prediction
Orlando Pirates will head to this game as favorites going by their record over Golden Arrows, but we just don’t know how their reaction will be after the loss in Soweto Derby. Golden Arrows will want to take advantage of that but they have not been doing so well lately. Arrows have struggled, and most of their good times came late in games or were errors by opponents. With the two sides’ issues coming to this game, it is tough to make a pick but one factor that stands out is the shyness in attack. Just one of the last five meetings has seen both sides score, and only that game has ended in over 2.5 goals. Both sides have not been scoring a lot too ahead of this game, so our pick will be on the game to end with under 2.5 goals.
