Orlando Pirates vs Moroka Swallows Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier Soccer League
by Daniel Ngulu | in Premier Soccer League Predictions
Two straight draws in the Premier Soccer League (PSL) and an early elimination from the MTN8 Cup wasn’t the way Orlando Pirates would have wished to start their season. They go to this third game of the league, at home to Swallows with two points separating the two sides. Pirates are 11th with two points while Swallows are seventh on four points. The hosts meet the side responsible for their early elimination in the MTN8 Cup and have the chance to revenge. That however will call for a big improvement for a team that’s winless in the last five matches and have just two wins in 10 games. They are coming from a 0-0 draw with Marumo Gallants; this marked a third clean sheet in five matches and also the third time their matches have ended in under 2.5 goals. Pirates have three wins in 10 league matches, and are unbeaten in four matches at home in the league, with three clean sheets.
Swallows go to the game on a much better run; they have no loss in their last five matches, just three draws and two wins. They beat Pirates 2-1 in the MTN8 Cup in mid August to go five unbeaten against their hosts. Three of their last five meetings have however ended in draws, and that includes the two meetings last season. Going to this game, Swallows are coming from back to back 0-0 draws, and have three straight clean sheets. Last season, they drew 20 of their 30 games and will hope for a better output this time. Four of their last five matches have produced under 2.5 goals. Away from home in the league, Swallows are winless in 10, losing two, with eight of them ending in under 2.5 goals.

Our Orlando Pirates vs Moroka Swallows Prediction
Swallows are coming from a draw in their last league game, which makes it 21 draws in their last 31 league games. They don’t score a lot, but are formidable defensively, and as a result, most of their games end in under 2.5 goals. Going to this game, both sides haven’t been scoring a lot and we expect the same here, so back it to produce under 2.5 goals.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
