ORLANDO PIRATES vs GOLDEN ARROWS – Click here to bet
Orlando Pirates are 2nd on the table, with 3rd placed Sekhukhune trailing them by 7 points. They have played 23 games, winning 17, losing 5 and drawing 1 of them.
Their recent form has been solid and of their last 5 clashes they have come out the winner in 4, while losing the remaining game.
Before playing Golden Arrows last weekend they took on Kaizer Chiefs and pulled off a 2-1 victory in the Soweto Derby although this past weekend they went down to Chiefs in the Nedbank Cup Final by the same scoreline.
Golden Arrows have been battling to find consistent form, winning 6, drawing 8 and losing 10 of their 24 matches which leaves them in 14th on the log, just outside of the relegation zone.
Things have not gone their way across their last few games, and they are on a 3-match losing streak heading into their second fixture against Pirates in a short time period.
Prior to meeting Pirates a couple of weeks back they faced off against a strong Stellenbosch team and lost 3-0 on the road.
Head-to-Head
These sides went head-to-head twice in the Premiership last season where Pirates won the first game 2-1 away from home and then went on to dominate the next game, winning 7-1 in front of a home crowd. The last time they met was on the 6th of May in both sides most recent encounter where Pirates won 2-1 on opposition turf.
Betting and Verdict
Orlando Pirates are trading at 1.40 with Golden Arrows 8.00 and the draw 4.50
Pirates should be too strong at home and a number of their recent fixtures have had goals in them. To inflate the Pirates price I am backing them to win with at lease 3 goals in the game.
BET: Result and Totals – Orlando Pirates and Over 2.5 Goals at 2.35
