Saint Eloi Lupopo vs Orlando Pirates Predictions - Sea Robbers to take narrow lead in Congo
Orlando Pirates are in excellent form, having won their last eight matches without conceding a goal and scoring 19 in the process. As they prepare to visit Saint Eloi Lupopo in the Congo, they are predicted to narrowly secure victory and possibly keep a clean sheet. Saint Eloi Lupopo, who finished second in the Linafoot and recently joined by talented winger Henoc Molia Lihozasia, will prove tough opponents. Pirates' coach, Abdeslam Ouaddou, may rest key players, but the team is expected to continue their winning streak.
