Orlando Pirates - Kaizer Chiefs: Form Analysis
Orlando Pirates will be resuming league duty for the first time in over three weeks when they were beaten by Cape Town City on the road, which was only their second loss of the season.
In 11 league games, the Buccaneers have notched up nine wins, while they also booked their spot in the quarter-final of the CAF Champions League with an unbeaten record during the group stage.
Key to the Bucs’ success this term has been their home form. They are on a three-match win streak at home across all competitions and have only tasted defeat once in the top flight this term (W6 D0 L1).
Orlando Pirates have only conceded five goals in the PSL this season!
Meanwhile, Kaizer Chiefs will also enter this match with confidence after securing their spot in the last 16 of the Nedbank Cup, beating lower-league outfit Free Agents 4-0 last Sunday.
In league terms, AmaKhosi have been a mixed bag this season, now holding a record of six wins, three draws and five defeats in 14 games. They have only won back-to-back league matches once this term.
The visitors have found positive results hard to come by on the road of late, winless in their last five away games, while they have only taken eight points from a possible 21 to date (W2 D2 L3).

Tapelo Xoki made his long-awaited return to action this month and featured in Pirates’ Nedbank Cup match in the week. He is expected to be in contention to start this weekend.
Olisa Ndah has resumed field-based training this month and is close to a full recovery, while Zakhele Lepasa continues to undergo rehab. Neither are likely to feature in the upcoming encounter.

Joining Morris in a watching brief this week is Wandile Duba, who picked up an injury in the victory over Free Agents. The forward is expected to remain sidelined for six weeks.

Our Orlando Pirates vs Kaizer Chiefs Prediction
While Kaizer Chiefs dominated this fixture for many years, Orlando Pirates have turned the tables in recent times, and a victory here will mark the first time ever that the Bucs have managed four consecutive wins over their old foe.
The Sea Robbers have largely kept pace with Sundowns at the top of the standings this term, and given their home form, they will be expecting another three points here against an inconsistent AmaKhosi. Our Orlando Pirates vs Kaizer Chiefs prediction is Orlando Pirates wins the match.
