Orlando Pirates vs Saint Eloi Lupopo Predictions - Sea Robbers to win handsomely
Orlando Pirates face a daunting task as they try to overturn a 3-0 first-leg loss against Saint Eloi Lupopo in the CAF Champions League. Despite the challenge, the Pirates are favored to secure a win to zero and cover a -2 handicap in the return leg. With standout performances as their recent history shows, winning 9 out of their last 10 matches to zero, they have a fighting chance. However, the absence of key players like winger Relebohile Mofokeng and several defenders could impact the team. Saint Eloi Lupopo, unbeaten in 12 matches, poses a solid challenge.
