Orlando Pirates vs Kaizer Chiefs Predictions

I see this match being very tight. Neither side is playing to their full potential right now. I’m backing a draw as Chiefs prevent Bucs doing the league double over them.

Head to Head

Orlando Pirates won 1-0 when the sides met in November. It’s 15 years since Pirates last did the league double over Chiefs.

Orlando Pirates Form & Team News

Pirates are not firing on all cylinders right now. The last six matches have seen just two wins.

They lost 3-1 at SuperSport United and 3-2 at home to Stellenbosch having led 2-0. A credible 1-1 draw at Mamelodi Sundowns with ten men preceded a 6-0 win at minnows Crystal Lake in the Nedbank Cup.

Last Saturday, Pirates won 1-0 at Polokwane City. On Wednesday night, they performed poorly in a 1-1 home draw vs bottom-placed Cape Town Spurs.

Coach Jose Riveiro has a doubt over first-choice striker Evidence Makgopa. On-loan midfield Thalente Mbatha could be preferred to Miguel Timm once again.

Central defender Olisa Ndah is available again after suspension. Deon Hotto is set to get the nod at left back.

Orlando Pirates Predicted Lineup

Chaine; Monyane, Ndah, Xoki, Hotto; Makhaula, Mbatha; Maswanganyi, Kimvuidi, Mofokeng; Makgopa.

Kaizer Chiefs Form & Team News

Chiefs are unbeaten in seven league matches. Their last eight matches have seen just one goal conceded.

After three 1-0 wins in a row, Chiefs drew 1-1 away at Sekhukhune United. They began 2024 with a 0-0 draw at Royal AM before a Nedbank Cup exit on penalties after a 0-0 draw vs minnows Milford FC.

Last weekend, Chiefs played out a 0-0 home draw vs Moroka Swallows with ten men. In midweek, they beat struggling Golden Arrows 1-0 at home in the league.

Chiefs are without defenders Thatayaone Ditlhokwe (injured) and Edmilson Dove (suspended). Njabulo Ngcobo could play at the back.

Edson Castillo is set to be recalled in midfield. Young striker Wandile Duba could be a surprise starter.

Kaizer Chiefs Predicted Lineup

Bvuma; Kwinika, Msimango, Ngcobo, Hlanti; Castillo, Maart, Mthethwa; Du Preez, Duba, Mmodi.

Verdict

Orlando Pirates v Kaizer Chiefs

I'm backing a draw in this match. I can't see many goals and a 0-0 correct score offers excellent value.
