Orlando Pirates vs Pyramids prediction
The Orlando Pirates come into this one on the back of 1-0 defeat of the Marumo Gallants in their most recent outing last weekend in the semi-finals of the Nedbank Cup. The South Africans have conceded just three goals in their last eight matches across all competitions, edging past MC Alger by a goal to nil on aggregate in the quarter-finals of this tournament.
Pyramids FC, on the other hand, were beaten 2-0 by Haras El Hodoud in the group stages of the Egyptian League Cup in midweek to continue a patchy run of form. They have now managed just three victories in their last eight matches across all competitions, losing the second-leg of their CAF Champions League quarter-final to AS FAR but winning 4-3 on aggregate.
The Orlando Pirates are extremely difficult to beat and score against and so, with their home advantage and Pyramids’ patchy form, siding with the hosts looks the way to go for this one.
