Orlando Pirates will return to Premier Soccer League action with a home match against struggling Cape Town City on Saturday. Heading into this game, Pirates are second in the league standings, while Cape Town City are 10th. Below we have a prediction for this match.
Orlando Pirates are the closest challengers to Mamelodi Sundowns in the title race. At the moment they trail Sundowns by 12 points but there’s no reason to panic yet as they have three games in hand.
Coming from a 3-1 over Baroka in the Nedbank Cup, they’ll be in the right shape to avenge a 1-0 loss to Cape Town in January.
It is seven matches since Cape Town City beat Orlando Pirates and they’ve managed to add just one win in that run. Across all competitions, Cape Town have suffered five defeats in seven matches.
They are coming into this game off back-to-back losses against Chippa United and Magesi. It further complicates their situation that the visitors have failed to score in four of their last five matches.
In that period, they only managed one goal. Away from home, Cape Town City have found so little joy, losing each of their last four matches and failing to score in them.
They have one win and four losses in the last six meetings with Pirates.
