Orlando Pirates are out to protect their one-goal lead in the CAF Champions League second preliminary round when they welcome African Stars to the Orlando Amstel Arena in the return leg. Two of the home side's last three matches in this competition have gone under 2.5 goals, hence our prediction for a low-scoring affair.

Orlando Pirates enter this clash boasting a one-goal lead from the first leg with African Stars. Tshepang Moremi rose to the occasion, finding the back of the net to guide his team to a 1-0 win on their travels.

The Sea Robbers have now won ten of their last 12 matches across all competitions (D1, L1). They maintained a shutout in nine of those wins.

Their home record is more impressive, particularly in CAF competitions where they have won 50 of their last 78 matches at Orlando Amstel Arena (D22, L6). Of those six losses, four came in the CAF Champions League.

Overturning a one-goal deficit is going to be a mountainous task for African Stars, who have a poor record against Orlando Pirates in the CAF Champions League.

Their 1-0 defeat in the first leg of the second preliminary round marked their third winless run against this opponent (D1, L2).

To make matters worse, the Samba Boys failed to score in any of those encounters, highlighting their struggles in the final third.
