Orlando Pirates vs Cape Town City Prediction & Betting Tips - MTN 8
by Devesh Jaganath in Football Predictions
It’s all on the line for Orlando Pirates and Cape Town City as they prepare to square off in the MTN 8 semi-final second leg on Saturday afternoon. The Buccaneers are the defending champions of this title, while the Citizens were knocked out in the quarter-final of the competition last season. Check out our match prediction below.
After winning this competition at the start of last season, Orlando Pirates experienced a mixed PSL campaign, which saw them drop as low as eighth at one point before clawing their way back into the top three in the second half of the term.
In the end, the Sea Robbers finished second, edging out Stellenbosch on the final day of the season with a 1-1 draw against Supersport United to secure CAF Champions League qualification.
Over the course of last season, Pirates posted a record of nine wins, three draws and three losses, which was the third-best in the division.
Meanwhile, Cape Town City would have hoped for more than just a 1-1 draw in the first leg of this tie and now have to travel to Johannesburg needing a victory.
The Citizens did not fare well the last time they visited Orlando Stadium either, as they suffered a 2-0 defeat in the league at this venue back in May. They're also winless against this opponent in their last four encounters.
On the road, Cape Town City took 22 points in 15 league games last season but only won one of their final five away games, drawing three and losing one of the remaining four.
