Orapa United vs Jaraaf Prediction: A draw will satisfy these teams

Francistown Stadium will host the CAF Confederation Cup encounter between Orapa United and Jaraaf. This will be the first meeting between these sides at this stage. Which side wins this one?

Orapa United held ASEC Mimosas the previous time out in this competition and settled for a draw. In that game, Orapa United settled for a defensive play, as they had only 40 per cent of the possession while their opponent attempted 12 shots. However, the previous time out the last midweek, this team took on the Extension Gunners in a league game and secured a 1-2 win. In this year’s CAF Confederation Cup, Orapa United had one point at the bottom of Group C with zero goals scored and six conceded.

Jaraaf took on USM Alger the previous time out in this competition, and they settled for a goalless draw. In that game, Jaraaf had 37 per cent of the possession and attempted ten shots while failing to convert the two on target. In the meantime, their opening game in this competition saw them lose to ASEC Mimosas, ending 2-0. Heading into this game, Jaraaf failed to win any of their last three matches, with one win in their previous five. With one point, Jaraaf sit third in Group C, scoring zero goals. 

The two teams are in search of their first win in this competition, and I expect them to be at their best. While Jaraaf are struggling to pick wins, Orapa United do not come in as favourites either. This game does not look like a winner will surface, and while their offensive performances are below par, a bet on a few goals while both sides settle a draw is a good one.
