Jwaneng Galaxy vs Orlando Pirates Preview

Pirates have a strong side and are favoured to win this encounter. However, last season, these two ended level after two legs and Galaxy advanced after a penalty shootout. Based on this season, I am backing Pirates to win away.

Jwaneng Galaxy Form & Team News

Galaxy won the league on the final day of last season after nearly throwing the title away.

After two draws, they lost 1-0 at Township Rollers. A 0-0 draw at Gaborone United preceded a narrow 1-0 win over Orapa United to secure the league crown.

This season, they’ve played just two matches in the CAF Champions League qualification round. They lost 1-0 away to African Stars before winning the second leg 1-0 and progressing on penalties.

Coach Morena Ramoreboli may hand a start to striker Omaatla Kebatho. He scored off the bench in the last match.

Former Baroka FC striker Onkabetse Makgantai is also expected to be handed a recall to the XI.

Orlando Pirates Form & Team News

Pirates have made a good start to this season with no losses in five matches. They’ve reached a cup final as they look to win a fifth domestic cup in two years.

Bucs ended last season by beating Mamelodi Sundowns 2-1 in the Nedbank Cup final. This term began with a 3-1 win vs SuperSport United (MTN8) and a 4-0 aggregate win over CS-Disciples in a CAF tie (0-0 away, 4-0 win at home).

Since then, Pirates have progressed to the MTN8 final. They drew 1-1 at Cape Town City before winning the second leg 2-0 at home.

Tapelo Xoki is injured in defence for coach Jose Riveiro. Newly signed right back Deano Van Rooyen will hope to make his debut.

Thalente Mbatha scored in both matches for Bafana Bafana during the FIFA break. He is set to start in midfield.

Verdict

Jwaneng Galaxy v Orlando Pirates

I see Pirates win this match. I'm tipping a clean sheet and narrow 1-0 margin.
