Orlando Pirates visit Golden Arrows at the Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium on Saturday evening as they seek to bounce back from their defeat to Kaizer Chiefs.

The Buccaneers can have few complaints about their derby loss, but Daniel Akpeyi’s magnificent performance in goal for Amakhosi made life difficult for them.

“For me we [had] a tough game, it’s one of the best teams in the league, I think we had a little more from the game,” Pirates coach Josef Zinnbauer told SuperSport post-match.

“I think we dictated the game but we have not the final pass. It reminds me of [Luvuyo] Memela had a big chance in the second half, towards the goal-line, normally you make this but today we did not have the luck you need when you win against Kaizer Chiefs.”

Abafana Bes’thende have picked up seven points in their last three league fixtures, so Pirates need to find top form again as quickly as possible.

The Buccaneers will be looking to recover the form which saw them win six league games on the trot prior to the defeat to Kaizer Chiefs.

Kick-off time and prediction

Kick-off time: 7 March, 18:00

Prediction: It won’t be easy against a tough team in Durban, but Orlando Pirates are predicted to grind out the win and go home with all three points.

The Buccaneers are favourites and have a 48% chance of success, but surprisingly win only 33% of fixtures at such odds. Arrows have a 29% chance of winning, odds at which they usually win 25% of their fixtures.
