Polokwane City play host to Orlando Pirates at Old Peter Mokaba Stadium on matchday 25 in the Betway Premiership. Polokwane City are sixth in the league standings, while Pirates are second. Here's our match prediction.
Polokwane City's assignment in the Betway Premiership is simple: secure a top-three finish. They are one point behind the desired spot and a win here could see them overthrow Stellenbosch in third.
Last time out, the Rise and Shine delivered one of the best performances in the league by beating Richards Bay 3-1 at home. The last time they scored exactly three goals at home was in August 2023.
Before this win, they had been in poor form, going winless in seven league games, collecting three measly points during this unwanted stretch.
Orlando Pirates, meanwhile, was involved in the CAF Champions League quarter-final first-leg tie against MC Alger on Tuesday. Mohau Nkota's 65th-minute effort was enough to see them secure a 1-0 win away from home.
Amabhakabhaka have avoided defeat in three league games, recording two wins and one draw. Their recent match was against runaway leaders Mamelodi Sundowns. A Relebohile Mofokeng brace in the first opening five minutes of the first half saw them win 2-1 at home.
After losing two consecutive matches on the road, they have managed to steady the ship with a two-match unbeaten run (W1, D1). They will aim to make it three games unbeaten.

Our Polokwane City vs Orlando Pirates Prediction
Polokwane City had endured a disspointing run of results before the international window, going seven league games without a win. They also lacked the cutting edge in front of goal by failing to score in six of those matches.
Orlando Pirates, on the other hand, will be regarded as favourites considering they have been the better side on paper in the Betway Premiership collecting seven points in three games. They have also been dominant in this fixture and come into this match boasting a two-match winning streak. Our Polokwane City v Orlando Pirates prediction: Orlando Pirates wins the match.
