📰 Team News: Orlando Pirates
Thanks to a largely full-strength group of players, there is only the one fitness worry for the Orlando Pirates manager to be concerned with. Thabiso Sesane (Achilles tendon rupture) misses out for this game.
⚡ Prediction
Here, we’re thinking that Golden Arrows will really need to work well to get anything against this Orlando Pirates side who we reckon will just have the edge.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a very competitive encounter with a 0-1 winning margin for Orlando Pirates at full-time.
Expecting it to be tight.
