Orlando Pirates vs Baroka FC Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier Soccer League
by Daniel Ngulu | in Premier Soccer League Predictions
Orlando Pirates are on a good run and will be hoping to go top of the Premier Soccer League (PSL) at the close of Match Day 5, in which they will be hosting Baroka FC in Johannesburg. The two sides go to this game separated by just a point, with Pirates on eight and in third place while Baroka have seven points and in fourth place. Pirates came from a goal down to sink SuperSport United 2-1 in their last match, and will be hoping to build on that here. That win was Pirates’ fourth in a row and are unbeaten in 10 matches now, with eight wins therein. In the last 15 matches, Pirates have lost just once and kept nine clean sheets while winning eight. They have scored twice in three of their last four matches and the momentum has been found, having now registered two straight wins after starting the season with draws. Pirates head to this game as favorites, with a seven-game unbeaten run in PSL while they have one loss and nine wins in 15 PSL home matches. The most common result in this game is a draw; each of the last four meetings have ended in draws, and of the total nine meetings, six have ended in draws.
Baroka, on their part, head to this game straight from a loss and winless in their last two matches. They have a chance to rise to second with a win in this game and they will be expecting a better outing than in their loss to new boys TTM in the last game. Baroka have no clean sheet in the last six, and just two clean sheets in the last 10. The team has had two losses in the last three away games in the league, while in the last away 15 league matches they have nine losses and three wins. A poor attack is to blame for Baroka run of form away from home; they have scored more than one goal just once in their last 15 away league games. Worse, they have failed to score in nine of the last 15 away league games. However, there is a richness in goals in the previous matches between these two sides. Both sides have scored whenever Pirates and Baroka have met.

Our Orlando Pirates vs Baroka FC Prediction
These two sides have started the season fairly strong but Baroka’s loss in the last game means they’ve lost a little of steam. Pirates, on the other hand, have grown game by game, and could go top with a win here. They started with two straight draws but have now won twice in the last two matches and will be hoping to continue with the rise. Both these sides have scored in their previous nine meetings and head here on impressive scoring runs too. They will each be eyeing a rise up the standings and we expect a well contested match and both to score, but Pirates have a slightly better run and playing at home will add to their advantage. We feel a win for Pirates is more likely in this game.
