Form guide
“Both sides have had a mixed bag of results in recent weeks, but based on their most recent outings, Orlando Pirates should go into the clash with some confidence.” – The official Pirates site report.
“In their last assignment, the Soweto Giants were dominant on the road, beating Stellenbosch FC 3-0, and claiming their biggest winning margin of the season. The result also ended a streak of two games without a victory, where the Buccaneers endured a defeat and a draw, both away from home. The Oilers, on the other hand, have had a tougher time of it since opening their domestic league campaign with a convincing 3-0 victory over the newly-promoted Sandi FC.

“They have since gone three games without a win, playing to two draws and losing once. The Liberians are in the Confed Cup after dropping down from the Champions League, courtesy of a 4-0 aggregate defeat to Raja Casablanca. Orlando Pirates made it to the Playoff Round after overcoming Diables Noirs of Congo in their Second Preliminary Round tie.”
