Maritzburg United vs Orlando Pirates Predictions

Maritzburg are in poor form with performances matching their results. Pirates tend to play better on the road and are 10 unbeaten against this opponent. I am tipping an away win with both sides on target.

Head to Head

Orlando Pirates hold a 19-6 advantage against Maritzburg United across 32 previous meetings with seven draws.

The sides last met in April as Orlando Pirates won 2-0 at home. Pirates are 10 matches unbeaten against Maritzburg.

Maritzburg United Form

Maritzburg have been quite poor this season with four defeats in their six matches. After a 1-0 home loss to Sekhukhune United, they somewhat burgled a 1-0 win at Baroka with just three shots at goal.

A last minute 1-0 home win against Marumo Gallants followed in a match where they had one shot on target and just 0.65 xG. A 2-1 loss at SuperSport United followed after a 94th minute goal from a corner in an even match.

Their last match saw a repeat as Royal AM scored in 94th minute from a freekick to condemn Maritzburg to a 2-1 away defeat. Zukile Kewuti had equalised in the 86th minute but they could not hold onto a point.

Maritzburg United Injuries & Team News

Maritzburg United will hope that top striker Bongokuhle Hlongwane returns unscathed from international duty.

37 year old centre back Clayton Daniels is nearing a return from injury. Travis Graham is back in midfield and could be handed a starting role.

Orlando Pirates Form

Pirates have been inconsistent this season. After two wins in a row, they have taken just one point from their last two league matches.

A narrow 1-0 home win against Swallows came in an even affair. A 3-1 win at Chippa United followed having trailed 1-0 with 2.1 xG produced.

Two disappointing displays followed as they lost 2-0 at home to Mamelodi Sundowns and drew 1-1 at Cape Town City. Happy Jele opened the scoring for Pirates but they were outplayed in the second half.

Orlando Pirates Injuries & Team News

Goalkeeper Richard Ofori is injured so veteran Siyabonga Mpontshane will deputise yet again. Thembinkosi Lorch and Zakhele Lepasa are injured in attack.

Olisa Ndah could keep his place at centre back whilst Deon Hotto is pushing for a recall down the flanks.
