Mamelodi Sundowns vs Orlando Pirates Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier Soccer League
by Daniel Ngulu | in Premier Soccer League Predictions
Mamelodi Sundowns will put their unbeaten start to the season on the line when they get to host rivals Orlando Pirates as the Premier Soccer League enters Round 17. Going to the game, Sundowns are still top of the table with 40 points while Pirates are a distant third with 24 points. Sundowns have a 15-point buffer between them and second placed Kaizer Chiefs, who have two games in hand. They have the best defence in the league, having conceded just six in 16 matches and are the only remaining unbeaten team in the PSL. The champions are coming from a 2-1 win over Baroka. They had to do it the hard way after Kermit Erasmus was sent off right at half time, leaving them with 10 men for the entire second half.
Orlando Pirates head to this game unbeaten in their last six PSL matches, but they have just three wins in the last 10 league matches. Going to this game, they drew 1-1 with Swallows, which marked their seventh game in the last 10 matches to produce under 2.5 goals. Pirates have lost only two games this season and Sundowns was responsible for one of them. They’ve lost to the two sides above them and with this game comes their best chance of leaping to second place at the expense of Kaizer Chiefs, who have two games in hand. Pirates do not have a very impressive away run in the league; they have managed just one win in the last seven. This will be another tough test of their capabilities on the road.

Our Mamelodi Sundowns vs Orlando Pirates Prediction
Sundowns have a good run in the league and they remain unbeaten going to this clash. One highlight about their matches is that most of their recent league games have been low-scoring. Six of their last 10 league matches have produced under 2.5 goals. Pirates have had a patchy run and seemed short of confidence in their last game as they drew with struggling Swallows. Their matches have also been low-scoring, seven of the last 10 in the league producing under 2.5 goals. Back this game too to produce under 2.5 goals.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
