After two weeks out in continental action, Orlando Pirates and Durban City resume domestic action in the Premier Soccer League. Pirates are one of the three sides yet to taste defeat in the league, and in this prediction, we are backing a high-scoring encounter.
Both progressed in their respective assignments and in the league, they will hope to carry the momentum. As they return to domestic action, Pirates find themselves second, with 13 points and three games in hand.
Wins in all three matches will land them top of the table with a two-point buffer. A 3-1 win at home to La Cure Waves in the Champions League sent Pirates 10 matches unbeaten to start their season. Of the 10 games, they won eight.
Durban City posted straight wins in their Confederations Cup assignments, beating Burundian rivals Rukinzo 3-1 on aggregate. In two matches in Africa, they won more than they’ve managed in five in the PSL.
Their only win in the league was against Kruger United (2-0), which brings them here on six points. Durban can pride itself on being unbeaten in their last four league games, but three were drawn.
That includes the latest, at home to Stellenbosch, which ended 0-0 for their third clean sheet in five league matches. These two sides have already met this season - in the MTN8 Cup, where Pirates won 2-1.

Our Orlando Pirates vs Durban City FC Prediction
Durban City will be keen on avoiding a second defeat to Orlando Pirates this season when they face off here. They are coming from a morale-boosting result away from home in the Confederations Cup, and that should motivate them.
Pirates, however, remain the favorites here and are also coming off a win to progress in continental action. With that, we expect an entertaining back-to-back encounter with goals. Our prediction for Orlando Pirates v Durban City is for over 2.5 goals.
