Orlando Pirates vs Golden Arrows Predictions


Pirates have a formidable record against Arrows. I see them winning to zero at home and beating the -1 handicap.

Key Stats – Bucs Backed for Victory


  • Orlando Pirates have won 13 of their last 17 matches.
  • Orlando Pirates have kept 11 clean sheets in their last 16 matches. 
  • Golden Arrows have lost 8 of their last 12 away matches.
  • Golden Arrows have failed to score in 9 of their last 15 matches vs Orlando Pirates. 

Head to Head – Bucs Totally Dominate


Pirates hold a 30-6 advantage over Arrows with 11 draws in 47 meetings.

The last meeting saw Pirates win 3-1 away at Golden Arrows in November 2025.

Pirates With 16 Wins in Last 20 PSL Fixtures – Dominating Matches


Pirates have won 16 of their last 20 league fixtures. They sit two points behind Mamelodi Sundowns in the title race. 

A dominant 3-0 win over Kaizer Chiefs was followed by a 2-1 win at Polokwane City with 3.69 xG followed. They beat Richards Bay 2-0 at home before a shock 1-1 home draw vs Siwelele with a 27-3 shot count. 

Their last match saw a 6-0 thrashing of TS Galaxy as they played almost the entire match vs ten men. They had 29 shots as Relebohile Mofokeng scored a hattrick.

Seven Points From Last Three – Arrows Chasing Top Eight


Arrows have taken seven points from their last three matches. Those results have taken them up to eighth in the PSL table despite 10 losses in 22 rounds of action. 

A loss on penalties followed a 1-1 draw at Durban City in the Nedbank Cup. They won 2-1 at ten-man Marumo Gallants before drawing 1-1 at home to Stellenbosch.

Their last match saw a 1-0 home victory over Sekhukhune United. Arrows scored an 82nd-minute winner in a very even affair. 

Predicted Lineups & Team News


Orlando Pirates (4-2-3-1): Chaine; Sebelebele, Seema, Sibisi, Hotto; Nemtajela, Mbatha; Moremi, Appollis, Mofokeng; Mbuthuma.

Orlando Pirates are without injured defender Tapelo Xoki. Rele Mofokeng is on fire and will play in the number ten role. 

Coach Abdeslam Ouaddou may again start Yanela Mbuthuma up front. Msindi Nemtajela will keep his place in the engine room.

Golden Arrows (4-3-3): Maova; Shezi, Jiyane, Mabaso, Mafuleka; Cisse, Msomi, Maxwele; Gasa, Dion, Ndlovu.

Top goalscorer Sede Dion will surely be recalled. He was surprisingly benched for the last match despite leading the division’s scoring charts with 12 goals. 

Key attacker Siyanda Ndlovu should return from an injury. Sabelo Sithole is pushing to start after his winner against Sekhukhune United. 

Verdict

Orlando Pirates are backed to win to zero and on the -1 handicap.
