Head to Head


Orlando Pirates hold a 5-3 lead over TS Galaxy with two draws in ten meetings.

The clubs played out a 1-1 draw when they last met in May 2025.

Orlando Pirates Form & Team News


Pirates are in great form with four straight league wins, a trophy secured, and a 7-0 aggregate win in the CAF Champions League qualifying round. 

They secured the MTN8 crown after beating Stellenbosch 3-0 in the final after three extra-time strikes. Pirates beat Lesotho side Lioli FC 3-0 before a late 1-0 win at Siwelele in the league. 

On Saturday, they beat Lioli FC 4-0 at home in the second leg. That meant a 7-0 aggregate victory and progression into the next round. 

Centre back Mbekezeli Mbokazi and left back Deon Hotto will return to the XI. Both were handed rests last time out. 

Defenders Olisa Ndah and Thabiso Sesane are back in training but this match comes too soon for them. Winger Relebohile Mofokeng is a slight injury doubt. 

Orlando Pirates Predicted Lineup


Chaine; Lebitso, Seema, Mbokazi, Hotto; Nduli, Mbatha; Appollis, Mbule, Moremi; Mabasa.

TS Galaxy Form & Team News


The Rockets have won four of their last five matches. They had previously been on a nine-match winless streak, including three straight losses to start this season.

A 2-0 win at home to Siwelele made it successive wins. They beat Orbit College 3-1 with 3.10 xG produced before a 1-1 draw at Richards Bay. 

Their last match saw a 3-1 home win over AmaZulu. TS Galaxy faced ten men for the final 25 minutes.

Right back Lentswi Motaung is back after a suspension. Patrick Fisher could keep his place in that role though after his recent arrival.

Striker Victor Letsoalo is doubtful. New signing Mory Keita scored from the bench in the last match but Galaxy may instead go with Mpho Mvelase as a false nine again.

TS Galaxy Predicted Lineup


Tape; Fsher, Mahlangu, Ndamane, Sibande; Mbunjana, Maduna, Mgaga; Dithejane, Mvelase, Mahlambi.

Verdict

I see Pirates winning this match with Over 2.5 team goals scored.
