Orlando Pirates vs Kaizer Chiefs Preview


Pirates are in good form and have the better of this encounter in recent times. Chiefs are also missing some big players, so I am looking at a win to nil for the title chasing Pirates.

Head to Head


In 59 previous encounters, Kaizer Chiefs have won 22 with 19 draws. Pirates have won 20.

Orlando Pirates Form & News


Pirates are having an amazing season with nine wins in 11 league fixtures and 18 wins in their last 23 fixtures overall. They’ve already lifted a trophy and reached the CAF Champions League quarter-finals. 

After a 3-0 home win versus Stade d’Abidjan 3-0 in the CAF Champions League, they lost 1-0 at Cape Town City in a league match. A 2-1 home win over Belouizdad followed in a CAF clash. 

Bucs then secured a famous 2-1 win vs Al Ahly in Cairo to top their CAF group. Last weekend, they won 3-1 at Richards Bay in the Nedbank Cup. 

Defender Nkosinathi Sibisi is back from suspension and should start. Olisa Ndah is injured in defence. 

Winger Monnapule Saleng is out of favour. Coach Jose Riveiro could start 20-year-old Mohau Nkota down the right. 

Kaizer Chiefs Form & News


Chiefs have won four of their last nine matches. However, it’s just four wins in 12 in league action. 

After losing 1-0 at Cape Town City, they eked out a fortunate 2-1 home win over Stellenbosch despite having just five shots. A poor 1-0 loss against Golden Arrows saw just one shot on target.

Chiefs bounced back by scoring late against ten-man Sekhukhune United to win 1-0. They made light work of minnows Free Agents FC in the Nedbank Cup round of 32 last Sunday. 

Coach Nasreddine Nabi is without three options up front. New signing Tashreeq Morris is suspended and both Ashley Du Preez and Wandile Duba are out injured. 

Gaston Sirino is back to boost creativity in the wide areas. Thabo Cele could be in line for a debut from the bench after moving from the Russian Premier League. 

Verdict

I see Pirates winning this match. I'm backing a win to zero and a win on the -1 handicap against a leaky Amakhosi back four.
