Orlando Pirates will take on Amazulu in the South African PSL at the Orlando Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The hosts are currently in third place in the league standings, while the visitors are 13th. These two will be meeting for the second time in a week, having locked horns in the quarter-final of the Nedbank Cup last weekend. That day, Pirates were the ones that came out on top as they romped to a 4-2 victory to book their place in the last four of the domestic cup. With that result, the Buccaneers are now unbeaten in their last three games in all competitions, including an incredible 7-1 win over Golden Arrows in the league earlier this month. As it stands, they are on 37 points after 23 games, trailing second-placed Stellenbosch by three points and holding a one-point advantage over Sekhukhune United in fourth. At home this season, Pirates have amassed 23 points, winning seven matches, drawing two, and losing two in 11 PSL contests. These two played to a 0-0 draw in the reverse fixture, but the hosts are the favourites in this one.
Meanwhile, Amazulu have struggled to put together a run of any significance this season and enter this match with 28 points after 23 games, leaving them two places and 11 points above the relegation playoff spot. Prior to their cup loss last weekend, they managed an against-the-odds win over Cape Town City, which brought an end to a six-match winless streak that included three draws and three losses. The Heroes’ major issue this season has been their lack of attacking output, as they are currently the second-lowest-scoring team in the top flight with just 18 goals to date. In league matches away from Jonsson Kings Park Stadium this season, AmaZulu have secured two wins, four draws, and five losses. The visitors have failed to beat this opponent in their last 13 encounters, drawing seven and losing six - a winless run that dates all the way back to February 2015.
