Last updated: 14 seconds ago

In the upcoming match between Orlando Pirates and Siwelele, Pirates are anticipated to secure a 2-0 victory. Pirates have been on an impressive streak, winning 15 of their last 18 PSL fixtures and keeping consistent clean sheets. Conversely, Siwelele is struggling to gain wins, having drawn six of their last seven matches. Recent encounters suggest a challenging match for Siwelele, who haven't been able to score much in away games. Predicted lineups indicate Pirates may retain a largely unchanged squad, while Siwelele will face key absences in their attacking lineup.

Orlando Pirates vs Siwelele Predictions


Pirates should have far too much for Siwelele. Another 2-0 Bucs win is predicted here.

Key Stats – Bucs Backed 2-0 Win


  • Orlando Pirates have won 12 of their last 15 matches.
  • Orlando Pirates have kept 10 clean sheets in their last 14 matches. 
  • Siwelele have seen Under 2.5 goals in their last 19 matches.
  • Siwelele have failed to score in 8 of their last 10 away matches.

Head to Head – Bucs Won Only Meeting


Pirates have met Siwelele for the first time in September.

Bucs won 1-0 away in a cagey affair. 

Pirates Can Go Three Points Clear – 15 wins in last 18 PSL Fixtures


Pirates have won 15 of their last 18 matches, since losing their opening two matches of the season. They can open a three-point gap in the title race with Mamelodi Sundowns not playing this weekend.

A damaging 2-1 PSL loss at Mamelodi Sundowns preceded a Nedbank Cup exit as Pirates drew 0-0 at home vs Casric Stars and lost on penalties. A dominant 3-0 win over Kaizer Chiefs followed. 

Bucs won 2-1 at Polokwane City with 3.69 xG and nine big chances. In midweek, they beat Richards Bay 2-0 at home in a tight affair.

Six Draws in Seven Matches – Siwelele Struggling to Win


Siwelele have not lost in seven matches across all competitions. After five draws, they secured a victory and another draw last time out. 

A 1-1 home draw vs Mamelodi Sundowns preceded a 1-1 draw at Richards Bay in the PSL. They drew 0-0 with Richards Bay in the Nedbank Cup but lost on penalties.

Following a 0-0 result away at Polokwane City, they beat TS Galaxy 1-0 at home. A 0-0 stalemate followed at home to Stellenbosch in their last match.

Predicted Lineups & Team News


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

Orlando Pirates are without injured defenders Thabiso Lebitso and Tapelo Xoki. They could name an unchanged XI for this match or make just one or two alterations.

Coach Abdeslam Ouaddou will attack and hope to increase his side’s goal difference in the title race.

Siwelele (4-2-3-1): Goss; Mfolozi, Mobbie, Makhele, Rapoo; Potsane, Zwane, Margeman, Lungu; Pule, Ohizu.

Siwelele will be without strikers Samir Nurkovic and Zakhele Lepasa. Chibuike Ohizu could start up front once again.

Samkelo Zwane will hope to keep his place in midfield. Nyiko Mobbie will continue in his new role in central defence.

Verdict

I see Pirates winning to zero and with a 2-0 score once again.
