The penultimate fixture of the PSL season takes place on Wednesday the 28th of May at the Orlando Stadium and we look at the match from a betting angle and offer up a couple of potential bets for consideration.
ORLANDO PIRATES vs MAGESI – Click here to bet
Orlando Pirates have had an impressive season, and they are assured of finishing 2nd on the table irrespective of this result. They have played a total of 27 games, winning 19, drawing 3 and losing 5.
They have been unbeaten in their last 6 visits to the pitch, winning 4 and drawing 2 of these matches.
The last time they played was on Saturday where they met with AmaZulu and the match resulted in a 1-1 draw at Amazulu.
Magesi have done well to escape the relegation zone which they were within not too long ago. They are in 13th position on the log, 3 points ahead of Cape Town City who have played all their matches and out of reach of SuperSport United who play their final game tomorrow. They have played 27 matches during their campaign, winning 8, drawing 6 and losing 13.
Their away form has not been reliable and of their 13 encounters on opposition soil, they have lost 8, drawn 3 and won just 2.
Their most recent action was in a clash against Marumo Gallants last weekend on Saturday which concluded in a 1-1 draw at home.
Head-to-Head
These sides have clashed with one another twice in history, with the first game being played during the Carling Knockout Cup 2024 where Magesi edged Pirates 3-2 away from home. Their second and most recent encounter was in December when Pirates fought hard to claim a 1-0 triumph on the road.
Betting and Verdict
Orlando Pirates trade at 1.37 to win with the draw at 4.30 and Magesi at 9.00.
Neither team has anything to play for so this could be a dangerous match for punters. Pirates class should tell though and I am betting they will come out on top in a low-scoring and potentially scrappy matchup.
