ORLANDO PIRATES have had a solid start to this year’s Premiership, and they have played 3 fixtures so far, claiming victory in each game, which leaves them in 2nd on the log with 9 points, currently tied with Sundowns. Their first match ended in a 2-1 win over Chippa United at home just over a month ago, they then went on to dominate Polokwane City in a fixture that they won by 3 unanswered goals at the Orlando Stadium.
Their most recent match was played on the 29th of September where Richards Bay FC gave them a run for their money on the road, however Pirates prevailed in the end, winning the match 1-0 and keeping their winning streak alive.
SUPERSPORT UNITED have not had the start they would’ve hoped for this season, and they have taken 2 losses, won 1 match, and drawn 1, leaving them in 13th position on the table, 3 spots off of last place after 4 matches. Their first match was a tough derby against Sundowns, where the scoreline showed 0-2 when the final whistle sounded, they then played an uneventful game against Royal AM at home which concluded without a goal scored from either side, however, their first win of the campaign came 4 days later in a 1-0 victory over TS Galaxy, also at home.
Their latest clash was against Cape Town City on the 28th of September, where they narrowly lost the match 1-0 in Cape Town.
Head-to-Head
The last time these sides met head-to-head was in August in the MTN 8 Cup, the match was a one-sided affair in which Pirates dominated SuperSport and won the match 3-1 at home. Prior to this they met twice in the league last season, where SuperSport secured the first fixture 3-1 at home, the second match resulted in a 1-1 draw at Pirates.

VERDICT
I believe just like in the recent MTN 8 Cup, this match will go the way of Orlando Pirates however they are a bit short in the betting for my liking. I think SuperSport will give a good account of themselves and will back both teams to find the net for the 4th successive time against each other
BET: Result and Totals – Both teams to score YES at 2.35
I am also going to have a dabble in the correct score market where I am going for a Pirates 2-1 win at 17/2.
BET: Correct score 2-1 at 17/2
