Orlando Pirates vs Al Ahly Benghazi Predictions

Pirates are in very strong defensive form and have lost just one of their last 12 matches with eight wins. Benghazi are poor travellers and have been leaking goals galore in their away matches. I am tipping a home win for Pirates.

Orlando Pirates have won 8 of their last 12 matches (3 draws) (all competitions).
Orlando Pirates have kept 8 clean sheets in their last 12 matches (all competitions).
Orlando Pirates have seen under 2.5 goals in 8 of their last 12 matches (all competitions).
Al Ahly Benghazi have lost 3 of their last 4 away matches (CAF Confederations Cup).
Al Ahly Benghazi have conceded 16 goals in their last 7 away matches (all competitions).

Head to Head

These sides have met just once before as Al Ahly Benghazi drew 0-0 at home with Orlando Pirates one week ago.

Pirates sit second in their CAF Confederations Cup group after three matches. Their results so far have been a 0-0 away draw at ES Setif and a 2-1 home win over Enyimba before their goalless draw last time out against Al Ahli Benghazi.

In their last match PSL match, Pirates saw their 10-match unbeaten streak ended by a 1-0 loss away against Kaizer Chiefs. That match came prior to their first match against Al Ahli Benghazi.

Orlando Pirates Injuries & Team News

Pirates are expected to be without Richard Ofori in goal and Happy Jele in defence due to injuries. Thabang Monare and is doubtful with a muscle problem in central midfield too.

Thembinkosi Lorch is close to a return but Deon Hotto is in a race against time to be fit. Terrence Dzvukamanja could be handed another start on the flank should those two miss out.

Al Ahly Benghazi Form

Al Ahly Benghazi sit third in their CAF Confederations Cup group after three matches. They lost 2-1 away to Enyimba before a good 1-0 home win against ES Setif. Their last match was a 0-0 home draw with Orlando Pirates last weekend.

In the Libyan Premier League, the side have won all three of their matches and sit fifth with two matches in hand. A 2-1 home victory against Al Hilal was followed by a 2-0 home win against Al Sadaqa.

Their last league match prior to the starting their CAF Confederations group stage matches was a 4-0 win away at Al-Anwar.
