Sekhukhune United vs Orlando Pirates Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier Soccer League
by Devesh Jaganath in Premier Soccer League Predictions
Orlando Pirates will look to keep their solid PSL form going when they travel to face Sekhukune United on Saturday afternoon. The hosts are currently in sixth place in the league standings, while the visitors are second. Sekhukhune United are having another impressive season, and after 20 games, they are still well in the running to secure a spot in the top three, which will earn them entry to the continental competitions. The Hedgehogs are currently on 30 points after 19 league games, trailing Supersport United in third place by just three points. Importantly, they also have a game in hand on Matsatsantsa and Cape Town City, who are ahead of them in the table at the moment. Sekhukhune were knocked out of the Nedbank Cup by Amazulu in their last match but will now return to the domestic league competition, where they have been doing very well lately, currently on a four-match winning streak and unbeaten in their last five games dating back to December. However, they did lose 1-0 to this opponent back in November and are the bookmakers’ underdog in this one.
Meanwhile, Orlando Pirates booked their place in the quarter-final of the Nedbank Cup with a straightforward 4-0 win over lower division opponents Hungry Lions in their last match. That result saw them maintain their unbeaten record in all competitions since the turn of the year. In league terms, the Buccaneers are unbeaten in their last four games with two wins and two draws, with their most recent match ending in a 3-2 victory over arch-rivals Kaizer Chiefs in the Soweto Derby at the start of the month. With that, they are now up to second place with 33 points, trailing runaway leaders Mamelodi Sundowns by 13 points. On the road this season, Pirates have a record of three wins, four draws and three losses and are going for a third consecutive match without defeat after holding the Brazilians to a draw and beating Polokwane City in their last two outings. While the visitors are the favourites here, they will know that they are in for a stern test against an improving opponent.
