TS Galaxy vs Orlando Pirates Prediction: The Rockets must leave no room for errors to stand a chance of coming out unhurt

With both teams harbouring distinct yet significant objectives, the stage is set for an enthralling encounter at the Mbombela Stadium on Saturday. TS Galaxy will square off against Orlando Pirates in this highly anticipated. 

TS Galaxy (5th)

Last five games: WLDDD

The Rockets have now gone four games without a win, heading here with a stalemate against Cape Town City away from home. TS Galaxy scored from the penalty spot to cancel Darwin Gonzalez's goal before the break. TS Galaxy have now drawn three consecutive games and lost once over their last four matches. 

TS Galaxy are eyeing the continental spot on the log and are now two points from achieving that. TS Galaxy play one of the best football in the league and are 5th on the log with forty points from eighty-one. The Rockets will rely solely on their home record to at least end up in the top half of the table this season, as they have won nine, drawn twice, and lost twice on their own turf.

Orlando Pirates (3rd)

Last five games: WWWWL

The Soweto Giant had a setback in their attempt to play Champions League football after their home defeat against relegation-threatened Richards Bay. The Buccaneers suffered a defeat for the first time in eight matches, and their dreams of playing in the CAF Champions League were shattered. They played their hearts out; unfortunately, luck was not on their side. 

Before the defeat, the Buccaneers ran rampant in the division, winning seven straight games. Orlando Pirates have found the back of the net twenty-three times over their last eight games in all competitions while conceding five times. Orlando Pirates have won five, drawn five, and lost four on the road this season.

Expert Betting Tips

TS Galaxy have won twice, while Orlando Pirates have recorded four wins and a game ending in a stalemate over their previous seven meetings. TS Galaxy have one of the best offensive teams in the division but have been below par lately. The Rockets have everything to play for here as they hope to play continental football for the first time in their history. On the opposing end, the Buccaneers were unlucky to lose their recent game against relegation-threatened Richards Bay, conceding once on their ground while the visitors protected the goal with all they got. 

Will Orlando Pirates continue their dominant run and solidify their CAF championship quest? Or will TS Galaxy defy the odds and climb to the continental spot? Only time will tell who will emerge victorious in this highly anticipated clash, but we think the Soweto giants won’t leave without a fight. Both teams have quality players up front, and we think a BTTS will surface here for 2.03.

The hosts must leave no room for errors against a solid visiting team; bet on a home win or draw and over 1.5 goals for 2.45.

This encounter should be able to produce more than two goals for 2.45.

Good luck!
