Mamelodi Sundowns - Orlando Pirates: Form Analysis
Mamelodi Sundowns have been in sensational league form again this season and already look a cut above the rest of the teams in the division. They lead the PSL standings with 38 points in 14 matches, nine points clear of the chasing pack. Owing to their involvement in the continental competitions, including the CAF Champions League, the Brazilians also have two games in hand over Cape Town City and Supersport in second and third, respectively. Sundowns won each of their first 11 league matches this season but saw that run ended when they were held to a stalemate by the Citizens on Christmas Eve. Still, they beat this opponent 1-0 in the reverse fixture back in September and are the only side that are still unbeaten in the top flight in the current campaign. As a result, they are also the clear favourites to win this match.
Meanwhile, Pirates seemed to have been building solid momentum heading to the year-end with three consecutive wins in December. However, they were unable to maintain that level of performance in the latter stages of the month as they suffered back-to-back defeats to end the year, beaten 3-1 by Supersport United on the road followed by a 3-2 loss to Stellenbosh at home a week later. Those results see the Buccaneers head into 2024 with 25 points in 16 games, trailing the top three by three points, while their arch-rivals Kaizer Chiefs are hot on their tails, one point behind. Pirates have managed to take a total of nine points from a possible 24 on the road this season and have failed to beat this opponent in their last eight attempts. During that time, the visitors have lost seven and drawn just one, while they were outscored by a massive 14 goals to one.

Mamelodi Sundowns & Orlando Pirates Squad Analysis
Considering that the vast majority of players who made the Bafana Bafana side for the Africa Cup of Nations were from Sundowns, it will be interesting to see what side Rulani Mokwena opts to field with his team only returning from the Ivory Coast in midweek. Mokwena will be unable to call upon Siyanda Nyanga and Bathusi Aubaas, who are long-term injuries, while Thapelo Maseko has been ruled out due to a hamstring strain picked up during AFCON.
Pirates also have a few injury concerns to contend with, starting with Azola Matrose, who has been out since returning from loan with Chippa United. He is likely to be eased back into action, having only resumed light training in the New Year. Sipho Chaine and Paseka Mako are both likely to miss out as well as they continue their recoveries from knee injuries. Thabiso Monyane, Kermit Erasmus, Lesedi Kapinga and Makhehlene Makhaula have also been flagged as doubts for Saturday’s encounter.

Our Mamelodi Sundowns vs Orlando Pirates Prediction
With the form that Sundowns have shown this season, it’s difficult to back against them winning any league match, especially at home, where they are unbeaten in a whopping 20 games dating all the way back to August 2022. Pirates have been no match for the Brazilians in recent seasons, winless in their last eight encounters, and we feel they will struggle to get anything from this one as well.
