It's one versus three in the South African Premiership as Sekhukhune United play Orlando Pirates in matchday 16 on Saturday. This match between the third-placed Dinoko and the first-placed 'Sea Robbers' comes with our prediction of both teams scoring goals.

Sekhukhune have 25 points from 13 matches (W7, D4, L2) and are one point behind second-placed Mamelodi Sundowns before this round. The visitors have 28 points from 12 matches (W9, D1, L2) and have a two-point cushion over second and a game in hand.

A 1-0 away defeat to Stellenbosch this week saw Sekhukhune start their return to league action on a negative note. It also left them with only one win from their last seven league fixtures (D3, L3), erasing the positives of a great start to the season.

Even at home, they are winless in three league fixtures played at this venue (D2, L1), with both draws ending 1-1.

Orlando are yet to play since the league took a break for the AFCON competition. They have nine wins from their last ten league games (D1) and zoomed to the top of the standings after starting the season with back-to-back losses.

The upsurge is evident even on the road, where Orlando have won four and drawn one of their last five league trips.
