The Betway Premiership league title is within touching distance for Orlando Pirates, although confirmation may have to wait until the final round of fixtures. The Sea Robbers play host to Durban City at Orlando Amstel Stadium on matchday 29, and this sees us siding with a commanding home win as our match prediction.

It has been 14 years without a league title for Orlando Pirates, and with the finish line now in sight, they'll be determined to avoid any slip-ups in their final two games remaining. They sit on 65 points and are three points adrift of the top spot.

The Sea Robbers made the trip to Polokwane to face Magesi, and as expected, they won 3-0. That outcome marked their second consecutive league win, and that without conceding a goal.

Notably, Abdeslam Ouaddou's men have avoided defeat in their last 11 league games (W8, D3). During this stretch, they scored a whopping 30 goals.

Durban City are in seventh place with 38 points from 28 games. Their position has yet to be guaranteed as they risk dropping as low as 11th place.

The Citizens are enduring a rough patch at the moment, having failed to win their last six league games since a narrow 1-0 derby win over Richards Bay on March 22nd.

In their recent match, they salvaged a point in a goalless home draw against ten-man Stellenbosch, marking their third successive league draw.

Our Orlando Pirates vs Durban City FC 2024 Prediction

Orlando Pirates were comprehensive 3-0 winners against Magesi, which extended their league winning streak to two games. The home team should be able to secure another three-pointer here against a Durban City side they defeated 2-0 in the reverse fixture. 

However, a low-scoring affair is out of the question given Pirates have been prolific in front of goal, averaging 2.72 goals per game in 11 Betway Premiership games. Durban City could struggle here, having lost two consecutive matches in this fixture and three of their last four. Our Orlando Pirates vs Durban City prediction: Orlando Pirates wins and over 2.5 goals.
