Golden Arrows Form & News

Arrows have taken just two points from the last four rounds of action. They sit three points above the drop zone with three matches in hand.

A 1-0 loss at Magesi saw no shots on target, before beating Kaizer Chiefs 2-1 at home. They drew 0-0 at home to Chippa United and 1-1 at Marumo Gallants with 3.30 xG allowed in a fortunate point.

Their last two matches ended in home defeats. A 1-0 loss to AmaZulu was followed by a resounding 3-0 defeat to Stellenbosch as they conceded two goals from set-pieces.

Golden Arrows have signed seven free agents from defunct Royal AM. Strikers Knox Mutizwa, Ryan Moon and Lungelo Nguse are injury doubts.

Themba Mantshiyane is doubtful at centre back. Captain Thabani Zuke is also carrying an injury.

Orlando Pirates Form & News

Pirates bounced back from two losses on Saturday. Those defeats saw a CAF Champions League exit and their title challenge take a hit.

A 1-0 home win vs Marumo Gallants saw Bucs reach the Nedbank Cup final. A 0-0 home draw followed by Pyramids was followed by a 3-2 second leg loss in Egypt in the CAF semis.

After a damaging 1-0 PSL defeat at home to Sekhukhune United, they won their last match. A 2-1 victory at Kaizer Chiefs boosted their morale.

Coach Jose Riveiro is without defender Nkosinathi Sibisi and midfielder Thalente Mbatha due to suspension. Olisa Ndah and Thabiso Sesane are injured at the back.

Patrick Maswanganyi, Tapelo Xoki and Relebohile Mofokeng are all one booking from a ban. They could be rested with a cup final on the horizon.

I'm backing a Pirates win to nil and a 2-0 correct score bet.
