Orlando Pirates vs Polokwane City Predictions - Sea Robbers to ease past goal-shy visitors
The Orlando Pirates are forecasted to achieve a win with a clean sheet against Polokwane City in their upcoming match. Historically, Pirates have dominated encounters with Polokwane, boasting a strong 12-3 win record across 23 meetings. Despite suffering an unexpected 3-0 defeat recently, Pirates look to regain momentum. Key players might miss out due to injuries, influencing their lineup. Polokwane, struggling on the road, will aim to overcome their recent away journey woes, although their form suggests challenges ahead without major players absent.
