Orlando Pirates Form & Team News


Bucs have made a slow start to the season in the league with two losses. They reached the MTN8 final on Saturday as they chase a sixth domestic trophy in just over two years. 

A 1-0 home defeat to Sekhukhune United in their league opener preceded a late 2-1 defeat to Marumo Gallants in round two. They outshot their opponents 18-5 in that loss.

Pirates drew 1-1 with Mamelodi Sundowns in their MTN8 semi-final first leg before beating Stellenbosch 1-0 in the league. On Saturday, Bucs drew 1-1 with Sundowns in the MTN8 second leg before winning on penalties.

Pirates remain without injured defenders Olisa Ndah, Thabiso Sesane and Nkosinathi Sibisi. Right back Deano Van Rooyen needs a late fitness test. 

Midfielder Makhehlene Makhaula is injured in central midfield. Sipho Mbule could be recalled in the engine room.  

Orlando Pirates Predicted Lineup


Chaine; Sebelebele, Seema, Mbokazi, Hotto; Nduli, Mbule; Appollis, Maswanganyi, Mofokeng; Makgopa.

Orbit College Form & Team News


Orbit College have lost two of their three matches this season. They were promoted to the top-flight for the first time via the PSL playoffs after ending second in the National First Division. 

They started the season with a 1-0 defeat at AmaZulu with just two shots on target. A 1-0 win followed over Siwelele despite having just 32% possession.

Their last match saw a 3-0 home loss to Sekhukhune United. Orbit College were outclassed throughout as they registered just 0.20 Expected Goals.

Orbit College don’t have a deep squad. They took three players on loan from Orlando Pirates in the transfer window. 

It’s not clear if the loanees can face their parent club. Key winger Monnapule Saleng is expected to be barred from playing. 

Orbit College Predicted Lineup


Moerane; Setlhodi, Ngiba, Nhlapo, Jingana; Batsi, Potsana; Mohlamme, Thibedi, Mabele; Koapeng.

Verdict

I see Pirates keeping a clean sheet and winning this match by two or more goals.
