Moroka Swallows vs Orlando Pirates Prediction: The visitors stand a better chance here

Moroka Swallows will strive to maintain their winning momentum when they face off against Orlando Pirates at the Dobsonville Stadium on Wednesday. The Beautiful Birds march here with a deserved (0-1) victory over relegation-threatened Cape Town Spurs, while the visitors failed to get anything away from the game against Sekhukhune United.

The Buccaneers suffered a shocking defeat on the road against Sekhukhune United, conceding twice and responding once. Orlando Pirates failed to take their chances again and paid for it with a defeat against a high-flying Sekhukhune United team. Orlando Pirates played with enthusiasm and determination but were indecisive in front of goal. 

Orlando Pirates have a long way to go in their attempt to play continental football next season. They are presently out of the race to win the PSL as they trail the league leaders with thirteen whooping points. Orlando Pirates have won three, drawn four and lost four games away from home this season.

Over their previous twenty meetings, Orlando Pirates have won nine and four games ending in a win for Moroka Swallows, while seven games were all stalemates. Moroka Swallows will do anything to win back-to-back games following their victory over Cape Town Spurs. However, it’ll be difficult against an Orlando Pirates side who just suffered a defeat on the road. Moroka Swallows were lucky to have come off with all the points in their recent game, and we think they’ll struggle against the visitors here; all things being equal, the Buccaneers are expected to win either half here.

This is not an easy game for either team, and we think they’ll be pleased with a tie at the break for 1.98.

Both teams are expected to get a goal apiece here for 2.12.

Good luck!
