Orlando Pirates vs Stellenbosch FC Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier Soccer League
by Devesh Jaganath in Premier Soccer League Predictions
Orlando Pirates will be looking to bounce back to winning ways in the PSL when they take on Stellenbosch on Friday evening. This is a crucial match in the race for the CAF competitions, with the hosts currently in fourth place in the league standings while the visitors are fifth. After a mixed start to the league campaign, Orlando Pirates seem to have found their stride since the start of November. Following a 1-0 win over Sekhukhune United on November 7, Pirates put together a run of six matches unbeaten, including five wins and a draw. Unfortunately, though, the Buccaneers saw that run brought to an end last weekend when they were beaten 3-1 by Superport United at the Peter Mokaba Stadium. That result saw them drop from third place to fourth in the league standings, overtaken by Cape Town City. Nevertheless, the hosts will be confident heading into this fixture as they are carrying a three-match home winning streak into it and are unbeaten in their last four at Orlando Stadium.
Meanwhile, Stellenbosch will head into this one well-rested having last played on December 16, when they beat TS Galaxy in the League Cup. That marked their fifth consecutive win and tenth match unbeaten in all competitions. In league terms, Stellies last match ended in a 1-0 win over Cape Town City, which was their third victory on the bounce and fifth game unbeaten including four wins and a draw. That win over the Citizens took them to 23 points, two behind their opponents in this match, though Kaizer Chiefs are hot on their heels with the same points tally. Stellies have now also kept four consecutive clean sheets in league matches and have not conceded in their last three away games. While Pirates are the favourites coming into the match, Stellenbosch did win the last encounter 1-0 at home last season and cannot be ruled out of this one just yet.
