Orlando Pirates vs TTM Predictions & Tips - Pirates to continue fine home form

Pirates are very strong at home and are defending well in the league. TTM have secured survival and have little to play for. I am tipping a home win as TTM’s away struggles continue.

Orlando Pirates have won 6 of their last 7 home matches (Premier Soccer League).

Orlando Pirates have kept 3 clean sheets in their last 5 matches (Premier Soccer League).

TTM have lost 2 of their last 3 away matches (Premier Soccer League).

TTM have failed to score in their last 3 away matches (Premier Soccer League).

These sides have met on one previous occasion as Orlando Pirates won 3-0 at TTM in January.

Deon Hotto, Gabadinho Mhango and Fortune Makaringe scored the goals.

Pirates going into the final round able to finish third or fourth in the PSL table. Their last 11 matches in all competitions have seen just three wins.

After a poor performance and escaping with a 0-0 draw at Stellenbosch, Pirates were knocked out of the CAF Confederations Cup after a 1-1 draw and 4-0 away defeat to Raja Casablanca. A 1-0 win against AmaZulu followed before losing 1-0 at TS Galaxy.

In their last match, Pirates won 2-1 at Baroka as they turned around a 1-0 deficit. Gabadinho Mhango scored a freekick before Terrence Dzvukamanja’s late headed winner.

Pirates are without defender Abel Mabaso due to suspension. Goalkeeper Richard Ofori is injured and missed.

Tshegofatso Mabasa and Zakhele Lepasa remain injured up front.

TTM secured PSL survival in their last match and go into this clash without a great to play for. Coach Dylan Kerr has overseen a run of four wins and two draws in their last nine PSL matches.

After an injury time penalty to beat Kaizer Chiefs 2-1, TTM lifted the Nedbank Cup by beating Chippa United 1-0. A 1-0 defeat at SuperSport United followed before a 1-0 win against Maritzburg United.

Consecutive goalless draws followed at Baroka and against Chippa United to guarantee another season in the top flight.

TTM have Ndivhuwo Ravhuhali available again at left back after suspension. Diamond Thopola remains doubtful in defence.

Coach Dylan Kerr could rotate his side and hand minutes to some fringe players.
