Golden Arrows vs Orlando Pirates – click here to bet
Golden Arrows come into this clash in solid form following a dominant 4–0 home win over Marumo Gallants on Sunday, which made up for a narrow 4-3 loss to Stellenbosch before that. They currently occupy 7th spot on the table with 16 points from 11 games, having recorded five wins, five defeats and one draw.
Arrows have been particularly strong at home this season, winning five of their six matches in Durban, and will be eager to maintain that momentum during this clash.
Orlando Pirates sit 3rd with 19 points from 9 games and remain unbeaten across their last seven league outings. The Buccaneers’ most recent match saw them earn a hard-fought 1–1 draw away to Mamelodi Sundowns, following consecutive clean sheet victories over Polokwane City, TS Galaxy and Siwelele.
Their balance between attack and defence has been a key feature of their campaign, with just four goals conceded so far while finding the back of the net eleven times.
Head-to-Head:
Orlando Pirates have had the upper hand in this fixture over recent seasons, winning 11 of the last 20 meetings. Golden Arrows have claimed just two victories in that period, with seven games ending in draws. Pirates have also dominated the more recent encounters, winning the last four by an aggregate score of 14-3, including a 3-0 triumph in May 2025 and a 2-1 away win in Durban last season.
Odds: Golden Arrows 6.50 | Draw 3.75 | Orlando Pirates 1.57
Verdict: Golden Arrows are improving under pressure and will take confidence from their emphatic weekend display, but Orlando Pirates’ superior quality and defensive structure make them the safer bet here. I am expecting Pirates to control possession and grind out a professional win with a high scoreline.
Bet: Result and Totals – Orlando Pirates and Over 2.5 goals at 3.25

Mamelodi Sundowns vs TS Galaxy – click here to bet
Mamelodi Sundowns continue to lead the Premiership standings with 22 points from 11 matches. Their most recent outing produced a 1-1 result against Orlando Pirates, and they hold a goal difference of +12.
Despite the recent draw, the Champions remain unbeaten at Loftus Versfeld this season and have netted thirteen goals, while conceding only three in their five home fixtures.
TS Galaxy, currently 6th with 16 points from 10 games, head into this clash after a comfortable 2-0 home win over Stellenbosch on Sunday. They’ve won two of their last four league matches, including an impressive 3-1 victory over AmaZulu, but it is important to note they lost the remaining two games.
In terms of away form, they have battled to get into the winning column, with three defeats in six away games and a negative goal difference to show for it.
Head-to-Head:
Mamelodi Sundowns have dominated this matchup in recent years, winning seven of the eleven previous encounters. The most recent meeting in February 2025 saw the Tshwane outfit cruise to a 4-1 home victory, while Galaxy claimed a rare 1-0 success earlier in that same month.
Odds: Mamelodi Sundowns 1.33 | Draw 5.00 | TS Galaxy 10.00
Verdict: TS Galaxy have proven a tough mid-table team, but facing Sundowns away from home is a different challenge altogether. With their quality in depth and attacking options, the Champions should return to winning ways comfortably and I am backing them to get the 3 points with a clean sheet.
Bet: Result and Both Teams to Score – Sundowns and No at 1.80
