Maritzburg United vs Orlando Pirates Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier Soccer League
by Daniel Ngulu | in Premier Soccer League Predictions
It hasn’t been an easy season for Maritzburg United in the Premier Soccer League (PSL) and it could get harder as they are set to host Orlando Pirates in the 13th round. Going to the game, the hosts are placed 15th in the standings, with nine points while Pirates have 18 points, and in sixth place. In their last outing, Maritzburg suffered a 3-0 loss to fellow struggling side TS Galaxy, adding on their pressure. Their rise after going four matches unbeaten was halted by that loss and they have now failed to score in their last two matches. Maritzburg have no clean sheet in their last seven home league matches; they have conceded two or more in three of their last five but have scored in four of the last five. Judas Moseamedi will be a key man here, having scored four goals in the last five matches. So far in the PSL this season, no team has conceded more than Maritzburg United.
Pirates have also had their problems in the season, and head here with just one win in their last five matches. Their case is however not as bad as Maritzburg United’s. They have two clean sheets in the last three matches and have won four so far in the league – two more than Maritzburg. On the scoring front things are not so rosy though; in their last two matches Pirates have no goal. Their best performance this season came against bottom places TTM, who they beat 3-0. That win presented their only clean sheet in the last four away matches in the league. They have conceded two goals in two of the four matches and failed to score in two. Head to head, this is a game Pirates will love going into; they have four straight clean sheets against Maritzburg and are unbeaten in seven.
