PSL action is on the cards in midweek, with Orlando Pirates set to take on Stellenbosch at Orlando Stadium. The Buccaneers and Stellies are 14th and 13th in the league standings, respectively, after the first two gameweeks. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The 2024-25 season was a good one for Orlando Pirates. They finished second in the league, won the MTN8, and reached the semi-final of the CAF Champions League.
However, this season has not got off to the best start for the Bucs, as they’ve lost both league matches so far, 1-0 against Sekhukhune United and 2-1 away to Gallants, respectively.
Notably, while the hosts are the favourites in this match, they are now winless in their last four league games, with three of those having been played here at Orlando Stadium.
Meanwhile, Stellenbosch had another steady season last time out, securing a second consecutive third-place finish with 48 points in 28 matches.
Stellies have made a mixed start to the current campaign, losing to Kaizer Chiefs 2-0 on the opening day before drawing 1-1 against Magesi last week. They also have a 2-0 lead over Sekhukhune heading into the second leg of the MTN8 semi-finals.
The visitors are winless in their last three away league matches, but they did leave here with all three points last season (1-0).

Our Orlando Pirates vs Stellenbosch FC Prediction
While these sides had solid 2024-25 seasons, this match is a difficult one to call given how both have started the current campaign, still in search of their first win after the opening two rounds.
Pirates had a long season last time out due to their deep run in the Champions League, and their pre-season was far from convincing. We feel this could turn into a bit of a slow-burner, where the first goal could end up being the winner. Our Orlando Pirates vs Stellenbosch prediction is under 2.5.
