Kaizer Chiefs vs Orlando Pirates Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier Soccer League
by Steve Ashfield | in Premier Soccer League Predictions
The 71st instalment of the Soweto Derby is here with us, and this time, Kaizer Chiefs play host to Orlando Pirates at the FNB Stadium. The two sides go to the game battling at different ends of the league standings. Hosts Chiefs are placed 11th with 20 points while Pirates have 35 points in third place. Chiefs are just six points above the relegation playoff region and head here with just a win in their last 11 matches but without a win in the last six league matches. They are unbeaten in three matches ahead of this, but the only win they have in there came in the Champions League. In the last 16 league matches, Chiefs have managed just three wins, while in the last 10 league matches at home, they’ve won only two. It has been tough on the scoring front as well, the team scoring more than a goal in just two of their last 15 home league matches. This season alone, Chiefs have already lost thrice to Orlando Pirates.
Pirates are just four points behind league leaders Mamelodi Sundowns, though they’ve played three matches more. They are coming from a 2-1 win over Enyimba in the CAF Confederations Cup; that was their 10th unbeaten outing, with the team having won eight. Three of their last four matches have returned clean sheets, and the team has just one loss in 15 matches across all competitions. In the Premier Soccer League (PSL) Pirates have three clean sheets in the last four matches and failed to score in just one of the last eight – the 2-0 loss to Golden Arrows. They’ve scored in seven of their last 10 away league matches, and after three wins over Chiefs this season, they will be hoping to extend their dominance here. Chiefs are set to miss key players for the match; Leonardo Castro and Khama Billiat are out injured while goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune misses with Covid-19 related issues and Lebogang Manyama is suspended. Meanwhile, for Pirates, only Richard Ofori remains a doubt for this match with injury.

Our Kaizer Chiefs vs Orlando Pirates Prediction
Chiefs are having a bad season; they can’t string together successive wins and defensively they’ve been poor. It is a bad run they carry to the derby, and having already lost thrice to this opponent, they’ll be the least favoured here. On the other hand, Pirates have been on fire, and head here unbeaten in 10 matches. Back Pirates for another win over Chiefs here.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
