Orlando Pirates vs Kaizer Chiefs Predictions - Bucs to Make it Four Straight Soweto Derby Wins
In the anticipated matchup between Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs, Pirates are the favorites due to their impressive form, winning nine out of their last eleven PSL matches. The Pirates boast a strong scoring record with 19 goals in their last seven games while Chiefs struggle offensively, failing to score in three of their last seven PSL matches. With Chiefs missing crucial forwards, Pirates are tipped to win at home and possibly cover the -1 handicap. Key player news includes defender Nkosinathi Sibisi's return for Pirates and Gaston Sirino's presence for Chiefs.
- Orlando Pirates have 9 wins in their last 11 PSL matches.
- Kaizer Chiefs are missing key forwards, struggling offensively.
- Predicted win for Pirates with potential clean sheet.

Orlando Pirates vs Kaizer Chiefs Predictions
Pirates are overwhelming favourites and are backed for three points. Chiefs are without several forwards and are tipped not to score. I see a home win to zero and beating the -1 handicap.

Orlando Pirates Form & Team News
Pirates are having an amazing season with nine wins in 11 league fixtures and 18 wins in their last 23 fixtures overall. They’ve already lifted a trophy and reached the CAF Champions League quarter-finals.
After a 3-0 home win versus Stade d’Abidjan 3-0 in the CAF Champions League, they lost 1-0 at Cape Town City in a league match. A 2-1 home win over Belouizdad followed in a CAF clash.
Bucs then secured a famous 2-1 win vs Al Ahly in Cairo to top their CAF group. Last weekend, they won 3-1 at Richards Bay in the Nedbank Cup.
Defender Nkosinathi Sibisi is back from suspension and should start. Olisa Ndah is injured in defence.
Winger Monnapule Saleng is out of favour. Coach Jose Riveiro could start 20-year-old Mohau Nkota down the right.
Orlando Pirates Predicted Lineup
Chaine; Van Rooyen, Sibisi, Sesane, Hotto; Makhaula, Mbatha; Nkota, Maswanganyi, Mofokeng; Makgopa.
Kaizer Chiefs Form & Team News
Chiefs have won four of their last nine matches. However, it’s just four wins in 12 in league action.
After losing 1-0 at Cape Town City, they eked out a fortunate 2-1 home win over Stellenbosch despite having just five shots. A poor 1-0 loss against Golden Arrows saw just one shot on target.
Chiefs bounced back by scoring late against ten-man Sekhukhune United to win 1-0. They made light work of minnows Free Agents FC in the Nedbank Cup round of 32 last Sunday.
Coach Nasreddine Nabi is without three options up front. New signing Tashreeq Morris is suspended and both Ashley Du Preez and Wandile Duba are out injured.
Gaston Sirino is back to boost creativity in the wide areas. Thabo Cele could be in line for a debut from the bench after moving from the Russian Premier League.
Kaizer Chiefs Predicted Lineup
Bvuma; Frosler, Miguel, Dortley, Cross; Maart, Mthethwa; Shabalala, Matlou, Sirino; Chivaviro.
Verdict
I see Pirates winning this match. I'm backing a win to zero and a win on the -1 handicap against a leaky Amakhosi back four.
