Orlando Pirates will welcome AmaZulu FC to the Orlando Stadium on matchday 25 of the Betway Premiership. Pirates are in second place in the league standings, while AmaZulu are fourth. Here's our match prediction.

Orlando Pirates come into this match after squandering crucial points in the title race against Richards Bay. The home team salvaged a point in a thrilling 2-2 draw on the road. As a result, they are one point behind table-toppers Mamelodi Sundowns, who have a game in hand.

On the bright side, Abdeslam Ouaddou's men are in terrific league form. They have avoided defeat in their last seven games, recording five wins and two draws. During this stretch, they scored a whopping 21 goals, highlighting their clinical edge in the final third.

Amabhakabhaka are hoping to return to the win column, and what better way to do so than in front of their home supporters. At the Orlando Stadium, they have won two of their last three games (D1) and currently boast the second-best home record.

AmaZulu have also bottled their chances of a top-three finish this season. As things stand, they are six points behind Kaizer Chiefs in third place, who have a game in hand.

Usuthu's recent match was a 1-1 away draw to Siwelele. That marked their second successive league draw. However, on a more encouraging note, they've avoided defeat in five league outings (W2, D3).
