Golden Arrows vs Orlando Pirates Predictions


Arrows always seem to lose this fixture and I don’t see that changing. I’m backing Pirates to stifle the home attack and leave with a win to zero.

Golden Arrows Form & Team News


Arrows have won five of their last six matches in all competitions. At home, it’s eight wins in the last nine fixtures going back to last season. 

After three poor losses, they’ve won five of their last two matches. A shock 1-0 home win vs Mamelodi Sundowns was followed by a 3-0 victory vs Orbit College at home. 

They followed that up with a 3-1 Carling Knockout Cup win over Sekhukhune United, before losing 4-3 at Stellenbosch. Two more home wins have followed: 2-1 vs TS Galaxy in the Cup and 4-0 vs Marumo Gallants.

Coach Manqoba Mngqithi is without veteran defender Gladwin Shitolo. Central midfielder Lungelo Dube is another absentee.

Thakasani Mbanjwa may return in goal for this one. Thokozani Khumalo is set for a recall after a brace from the bench last Sunday.

Golden Arrows Predicted Lineup


Mbanjwa; Phillips, Jiyane, Mantshiyane, Cele; Cisse, Dlamini; Ndlovu, Maxwele, Khumalo; Dion.

Orlando Pirates Form & Team News


Pirates have won 11 of their last 13 fixtures with clean sheets. Their CAF Champions League journey came to an end but they’re in a Cup semi-final having already lifted one trophy this season.

A 3-0 loss away to Saint Eloi Lupopo in their CAF first leg, was followed by a 1-0 win over Polokwane City in the PSL. A 3-0 second leg win vs Saint Eloi Lupopo was not enough as they lost on penalties.

Bucs beat Magesi 2-1 at home in the Carling Knockout Cup quarter-finals. On Saturday, they drew 1-1 away at Mamelodi Sundowns in a key match in the title race.

Coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has key winger Relebohile Mofokeng out injured. Youngster Cemran Dansin is hoping to keep his place in midfield after a wonder goal against Sundowns. 

Thalente Mbatha and Sipho Mbule are set to remain on the bench. The duo starred in Bafana Bafana’s last match but are out of favour at club level.

Orlando Pirates Predicted Lineup


Chaine; Lebitso, Seema, Mbokazi, Hotto; Nduli, Nemtajela; Moremi, Dansin, Appollis; Makgopa.

Verdict

I'm tipping Pirates to win with a clean sheet.
