Orlando Pirates vs Cape Town City Prediction: This highly anticipated game will end in favour of the Buccaneers

The stage is set for one the biggest games of the campaign as Orlando Pirates strive to bounce back from their heavy loss against Mamelodi Sundowns when they host Cape Town City at the Orlando Stadium on Saturday. 

Orlando Pirates (2nd)

Last five games: WLWWL

The Buccaneers have been inconsistent lately, heading here with another loss in the league. Their recent defeat against Mamelodi Sundowns has caused a twelve-point gap between them and the league leaders. They conceded four and scored once against the Brazilians, as they were tactically overwhelmed on the road. 

They immediately adjusted and secured all the points against Baroka in the Nedbank Cup, scoring three and conceding once. 

Orlando Pirates have been a force to be reckoned with, scoring twenty-six times this campaign while conceding only ten goals. The Buccaneers have lost just once and won seven at home in the league since this campaign, and they'll be determined to maintain such a run. 

Cape Town City (10th)

Last five games: WLDLL

The Citizens have now lost three in their last four league games despite their success against Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates. They always play well against top teams and struggle against teams below them. Recently, they conceded twice against Chippa United on their ground as they were overwhelmed by their opponent. This was after their tasteless performance against Magesi away from home, conceding two unanswered goals on the road. 

Cape Town City dropped tenth on the log following their recent woes. They have picked up twenty-one points from a combined fifty-four, scoring eleven and conceding twenty-one. 

Cape Town City have drawn once, lost seven and lost once on the road this season.

Expert Betting Tips

Orlando Pirates momentum have dropped drastically, and even their recent wins have been scrappy. After their recent loss against Mamelodi Sundowns, I’m confident they’ll respond positively against an uninspiring Cape Town City tomorrow. 

The level at which Orlando Pirates have been playing lately have been nothing short of disappointing, and after their recent league defeat against Cape Town City on the road, I will definitely back them to bounce back with a victory; bet on a home win and over 1.5 goals for 1.90 at (Bet365).

Since the hosts have failed to keep a clean sheet in three consecutive matches, I think the guests might likely get a goal here; bet on BTTS for 2.46 at (1xbet).

I’m proposing a win at the break for Orlando Pirates as I expect them to pressure Cape Town City just to gain momentum over them; bet on home HT over 0.5 goals for 1.66 at (Betway).

Good luck!
