Durban City enter this clash placed 7th on the table with 19 points from 13 matches following what has been a solid but inconsistent campaign. Their last five fixtures have seen a mixed outcome of results with two wins, two defeats and most recently a goalless draw away at Richards Bay.
Their home performances remain competitive, highlighted by a 1-0 victory over Marumo Gallants earlier this month and a convincing 3-1 win over Magesi in late September.
Orlando Pirates have been in excellent form and sit 2nd on the standings with 25 points from 11 matches of which they have won eight, drawn one and lost two. They are level on points with Sundowns with a game in hand.
The Buccaneers are unbeaten in their last nine, with their most recent action featuring a 2-0 home win over Chippa United. Prior to that they earned a 3-1 victory over Golden Arrows and a creditable 1-1 draw away to Sundowns.
Head-to-Head:
Their most recent meeting took place in February 2023, resulting in a 2-1 victory for Pirates at home, while Durban City claimed a rare 1-0 win in September 2022.
Odds:
Durban City 5.50 | Draw 3.25 | Orlando Pirates 1.77
Verdict:
Durban City have shown resilience this season but face one of the strongest sides in the division here. Pirates’ momentum and attacking sharpness give them a clear edge especially given their overall consistency. Durban City home games only average 1.8 goals so an away win to nil is the call.
Bet: Result and Both Teams to Score – Orlando Pirates and No at 2.40
Polokwane City vs TS Galaxy – click here to bet
Polokwane City come into this fixture having enjoyed a steady campaign and currently sit 8th with 19 points from 12 matches. Their most recent action includes a 1-1 draw with Richards Bay and a valuable 1-0 away win over AmaZulu a few days ago.
Their defensive structure has been solid, with just 7 goals conceded but they have struggled to convert chances on attack finding the back of the net only 9 times this season.
TS Galaxy possess 6th place on the leaderboard with 19 points from their 12 fixtures, currently holding a goal difference of +5. They arrive on the back of a confidence boosting 2-1 home victory over Golden Arrows.
Galaxy’s season has been characterised by superb patches of form, but their attacking output of 18 goals scored remains one of the highlights of their campaign.
Head-to-Head:
Their most recent clash in February 2025 ended in a 0-0 stalemate, while the first encounter during their 24/25 season concluded 1-1 in Polokwane.
Odds:
Polokwane City 2.60 | Draw 2.80 | TS Galaxy 3.25
Verdict:
Both sides have enjoyed similar seasons so far, with steady performances and strong defensive setups. This feels like a match that could go either way and with neither side consistently dominating, I think a draw is on the cards.
Bet: Draw at 2.80
