Orlando Pirates vs Chippa United Prediction: The Buccaneers will be too hot for the guests to handle

The Buccaneers will play their second home game against Chippa United at the Orlando Stadium. It has been a smooth sail for the home side, who have earned four points in two games so far, while the visitors could fall to another defeat if care isn't taken.

Orlando Pirates (4th)

Last two games: WD

Pirates are relishing the new season with two solid results so far. The first win was against Moroka Swallows, while the second attempt was against Stellbosch FC.

With four points picked up from two games, the fans and the players are also satisfied with themselves.

The Pirates didn’t have a great season considering the quality of their squad, and they failed to qualify for the CAF Confederation tournament. However, they did play against RSB Berkane in the finals of the CAF confederation cup, where they lost on penalties to the Moroccan-based team.

This season, the Pirates moved away from co-coaching and appointed a leader in Riveiro, who didn’t do badly in his previous job in Finland, where he was in charge of FC Inter Turku.

Pirates lost twice in the previous fifteen home games with seven wins and six draws.

Chippa (14th)

Last two games: DL

Chippa United began their season with a (1-1) draw against Supersport. They took the lead in the early hour of the game; however, the home side came asking questions, and in the second half, they finally got the equaliser in the 63rd minute.

More recently, the Chilli Boys fell to their first defeat against Royal AM as the visitors thrashed them (1-3) at home.

The Chilli Boys were lucky to have remained in the division, with twenty-nine points in thirty games last season. They survived in the division because Moroka Swallows failed to win their final season game.

Expert Betting Tips

Orlando Pirates have won fourteen, been drawn twice, and lost three against Chippa United in the last nineteen games.

Chippa United are struggling again this season, and I think it's due to their fixtures. They have been playing against stricter opponents in recent games, and I don't think anything can be done about that. We believe the home side will secure all the points for 1.67.

Orlando Pirates are highly motivated for this game and seem to be the favourite in this encounter. The quality of their squad is much better than the visitors. Bet on over 2.5 goals for 2.20.

I don't think the guests will survive the pressure at halftime, bet on the home halftime win for 2.30.

Good luck!
