The Orlando Pirates are predicted to secure another win against Magesi in their upcoming PSL match, with expectations of a clean sheet and scoring more than two goals. Having won 10 of their last 11 matches to zero, Pirates are in formidable form. Despite their recent exit from the CAF Champions League, they continue to dominate in the league, boasting strong performances in both the MTN8 Cup and recent PSL fixtures. Meanwhile, Magesi, currently 14th in the league, have been inconsistent, struggling with five losses in their last eight league games.

Head to Head


These sides have met on just three previous occasions with one win apiece.

The last meeting finished in a 1-1 draw in May 2025.

Orlando Pirates Form & Team News


Pirates have won 10 of their last 11 fixtures to zero. They were knocked out of the CAF Champions League in their last match.

They won eight straight matches including the MTN8 Cup final. A 1-0 win over Siwelele in the Carling Knockout Cup was followed by a 3-0 loss away to Saint Eloi Lupopo in their CAF first leg. 

After a 1-0 home win over Polokwane City in midweek, they won 3-0 vs Saint Eloi Lupopo on Saturday. They were knocked out of the CAF Champions League on penalties.

Coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has question marks over five defenders. Olisa Ndah, Thabiso Sesane and Tapelo Xoki are absent in central defence. 

Right backs Thabiso Lebitso and Deano Van Rooyen are injured. Key winger Relebohile Mofokeng is ruled out. 

Orlando Pirates Predicted Lineup


Chaine; Sebelebele, Seema, Mbokazi, Hotto; Nduli, Nemtajela; Moremi, Mbule, Appollis; Mabasa.

Magesi Form & Team News


Magesi are 14th in the PSL table. They have won their last two matches in all competitions but it’s still five defeats in the last eight league fixtures.

A 2-0 home win over Siwelele was followed by successive defeats: 1-0 at Richards Bay and 3-1 at Durban City as their opponents outshot them 17-6. A 3-2 win at AmaZulu followed n the Carling Knockout Cup. 

Their last match saw a key 2-1 home win over TS Galaxy in the league. They put up 2.25 xG as they netted two goals in the final 20 minutes. 

Magesi coach John Maduka could go with Motsie Matima in defence in preference to Mzwandile Buthlezi. Key winger Mcedi Vandala is out injured.

A switch to a one striker shape has improved Magesi’s fortunes. Wonderboy Makhubu could be benched with Thabang Sibanyoni starting up top. 

Magesi Predicted Lineup


Chipezeze; Abrahams, Matima, L. Mokone, J. Mokone; Mosadi, Masegela, Mtshali, Zungu, Seseane; Sibanyoni.

Verdict

I see Bucs winning to zero and with 2+ team goals scored.
