Royal AM has chosen a bad time to get back to winning ways in the Betway Premiership as they play host to high-flying Orlando Pirates at Harry Gwala Stadium on matchday 14. Royal AM is 15th in the table within the relegation playoff, while Pirates are second. Here's our match prediction.
Royal AM has accumulated eight points from 11 games in the Betway Premiership this season and is second from the bottom.
Thwihli Thwahla has seen victories hard to come by this season as they come into this match winless in their last five matches, picking up four losses and a solitary draw with 11 goals conceded during this run, highlighting their defensive struggles.
A 3-1 home league defeat against TS Galaxy three days after Boxing Day marked their second consecutive defeat and fifth overall this season.
Orlando Pirates are strong title contenders this season and are three points behind the top spot occupied by reigning champions Mamelodi Sundowns.
The Buccaneers have bounced back splendidly since suffering a 1-0 away league defeat against Cape Town City, as they have won two consecutive matches across all competitions.
The highlighted match during this winning streak is a recent 2-1 away win against Egyptian giants and reigning champions Al Ahly in the CAF Champions League that saw the team retain the top spot in Group C.
