Orlando Pirates vs Mamelodi Sundowns Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier Soccer League
by Daniel Ngulu | in Premier Soccer League Predictions
Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns’ hectic schedule continues with the two giants of South African football set to face off in the PSL on Sunday. Pirates, who are fifth with 39 points, hosts Sundowns, who for the first time in the season have dropped off top spot, to go to this game placed second with 48 points. Pirates are coming from a Confederations Cup clash away to Enyimba, which they lost 1-0 in Nigeria and are now winless in the last three matches, having drawn the earlier two. Their only win in the last five matches came against Maritzburg and they have just two clean sheets in the process. After playing seven matches in April, fatigue is definitely going to be a concern for Pirates. However, they have a better run in the league, having won three of the last five, kept three clean sheets and failed to score in just one. It has been even better at home, with the team winning each of the last four league matches there, with each of the last three bearing clean sheets. In 16 home matches in the league, dating back to last season, Pirates haven’t suffered a loss.
Sundowns and Pirates have three games in hand, as a result of participation in continental matches. While Sundowns are two points below the current league leaders AmaZulu, Pirates are 11 points behind. The recent matches have been tough for Sundowns; in April alone, they had nine matches and they managed just three wins. None of these wins came in the last four matches, and they failed to score in three of them. They have no win in the last three matches and the 2-1 loss to Kaizer Chiefs was their first in the league this season. This run of three winless matches has seen Sundowns drop off the top of the standings for the first time this season. These two are the best defensive sides in the league, Sundowns having conceded 13 so far and Pirates 17. Away from home, Sundowns are unbeaten in their last 14 matches.

Our Orlando Pirates vs Mamelodi Sundowns Prediction
Pirates haven’t lost in their last 16 home matches while Sundowns haven’t lost in their last 14 away matches. Both these teams were involved in continental action and after hectic schedules in April, fatigue will surely be an issue here. They haven’t won a lot of matches as they both look to recover from the busy scheduled we expect them to cancel out, so go for a draw.
