Moroka Swallows vs Orlando Pirates Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier Soccer League
by Devesh Jaganath in Premier Soccer League Predictions
Orlando Pirates will be looking to move back into the top three places in the South African PSL when they travel to face Moroka Swallows on Wednesday evening. The hosts are currently in 13th place in the league standings, while the visitors are fourth. After finishing last season in the top half of the table, Moroka Swallows have experienced a significant drop-off this term. They head into this match with 24 points after 21 games and just two places above Richards Bay, who currently occupy the sole relegation playoff spot. The Dube Birds managed to pull off an against-the-odds away win over Cape Town City over the weekend, which brought an end to an 11-match winless run that dated all the way back to November last year. At home, though, the hosts are riding a five-match losing streak and failed to score in three of those matches. Swallows lost the reverse fixture 2-0 against this opponent back in December and are the underdogs in this match, according to the books.
Meanwhile, Orlando Pirates stamped their ticket to the last eight of the Nedbank Cup with a straightforward win over Hungry Lions a couple of weeks ago. However, they were unable to follow up on that result, losing 2-1 to an improving Sekhukhune United in the league over the weekend. That loss brought an end to their four-match unbeaten streak since the Africa Cup of Nations break and left them on 33 points after 21 games. Pirates are level on points with third-placed Sekhukhune and two points off second-placed Stellenbosch, though they have played a game more than both those teams. On the road this season, the Buccaneers have managed 13 points from a possible 33 with a record of three wins, four draws, and four losses. Nevertheless, the visitors are worthy favourites here, as they are unbeaten in their last seven matches against this opponent (W4 D3 L0) and have outscored them 11-4 in that time.

Our Moroka Swallows vs Orlando Pirates Prediction
Swallows have been steadily slipping in the league standings over the last few months and come into this match having not won a home league game since November last year. Pirates, on the other hand, are in the midst of a heated battle for continental cup qualification and were in good form before their loss to Sekhukhune United last time out. We expect the visitors to bounce back to winning ways here, but with favourable odds available, we will opt for the additional safety of our money back in the event of a draw. Our Moroka Swallows vs Orlando Pirates prediction: Orlando Pirates Draw No Bet.
