Magesi FC vs Orlando Pirates Prediction: The guests can’t afford to lose back-to-back games against the hosts

Magesi, who have been poor in the league this campaign, will be poised to secure the maximum points when they face off against Orlando Pirates at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium on Sunday. The guests will approach this game with the aim of avenging their recent home loss against Magesi.

Magesi FC (15th)

Last five matches: DDLLL

Since their (1-0) victory on the road against Golden Arrows, Magesi FC have now gone five games without a breakthrough in the league. The newly promoted side have prioritized cup games since promotion, as they were beaten by Supersport United on the road. They didn’t create enough chances to secure all the points as they conceded once against their opponent. 

The newly promoted team have now drawn three, won twice, and lost five league games since promotion. Magesi FC have picked up six points from a combined twenty-seven, scoring four and conceding eleven. Magesi have lost once and drawn twice at home this campaign. 

Orlando Pirates (2nd)

Last five games: WWWLW

The Buccaneers returned to winning ways after their disappointing (0-1) defeat against Stellenbosch. Orlando Pirates scored eight times against Marumo Gallants despite a (1-1) stalemate against their opponent at the break. The second half began with the Buccaneers asking lots of questions and were rewarded with seven goals to win (8-1) against the guests. 

Their recent loss was an uphill battle, and the defeat ended their seven consecutive wins in the league; however, their rebound was sweeter. 

Orlando Pirates have now scored twenty-one times this campaign while conceding four. Jose Riveiro's men presently sit in second place on the log, winning eight and losing once. 

The Buccaneers have won back-to-back games on the road this season. 

Expert Betting Tips

Magesi have not really been impressive this season until their recent game against Orlando Pirates in the Carling Cup, where they won (2-3). Magesi have lost three consecutive league games and we can’t see them do anything against Orlando Pirates here.

The Buccaneers have a score to settle here following their (2-3) against Magesi in the CUP game in October. We expect the guests to start strong here and probably get a goal before the break for 1.73.

I think this game will produce more than two goals since the guests have been effective in front of goal.

Orlando Pirates will likely score in both halves here for 2.65.

Good luck!
