Orlando Pirates will be hoping to continue with their rise as they host Bloemfontein Celtic in the South African Premier Soccer League (PSL) on Tuesday. Placed fourth in the standings with 29 points, Pirates will seek to make their extra matches count before starting their Confederations Cup campaign. Their opponents, Celtic, are much lower in the standings – 11th with 18 points. Pirates have played two games more and will have one more match before they embark on their continental journey. They are unbeaten in the last six matches and have just one loss in the last 11 matches across all competitions. With a win here, Pirates could rise into the top three, they only need to improve on the performance against SuperSport United where a Ben Motshwari second half own goal saw the match end 1-1. They did recover from that to beat Maritzburg in the Nedbank Cup. Pirates have one clean sheet in their last five league matches and defence is one area they really need to improve on. They’ve scored twice in two of the last five matches and head here buoyed by two straight wins in home league matches. A fine home run has the team unbeaten in the last 13 league matches at home and only one loss in 37.
On their part, Bloemfontein Celtic are struggling in the season and have won just four of their 17 league matches. In their last league match, they fell 1-0 to TS Galaxy, a marker of the poor run the team has had this season. They are on three wins in the last 14 games, with seven losses therein. The visitors don’t seem to have serious issues in attack; they’ve scored six times in the last five matches. The major concern is in defence, having conceded 11 goals in the run of five matches. They troop to Pirates holding a run of four straight away losses and having failed to score in three of them. In the last 15 away league matches, Celtic have won none.
