Off the back of continental heartbreak, Orlando Pirates will be back to domestic action, facing Magesi in the Carling Knockout quarter-finals. Awaiting the winner from this match in the semi-finals is Richards Bay, who beat Durban City. Read on for our prediction.
Pirates had a brave showing in the CAF Champions League preliminaries but just fell short. They managed to overturn a 3-0 first-leg deficit against St. Eloi Lupopo, only to fall on penalties after winning 3-0 at home.
Having won the MTN Cup earlier, Pirates have just been in superb form. They come here on only one defeat in their last 10 matches.
Last year, Magesi eliminated Pirates from this competition, and they will want to replicate the same. They won 3-2 back then, before falling 1-0 in their league meeting and drawing 1-1 in their latest matchup in the league.
Based on those previous results, this isn’t an encounter they’ll go into feeling as heavy underdogs. However, losing twice in the last four matches has definitely sliced a chunk of their confidence.
On a broader outlook, the visitors have managed only three wins in their last 10 matches, losing five times. It is worse on the road, with the team winning once and suffering seven defeats.
