NextGOAL tip: Orlando Pirates -1.25 · 1 stars
Kruger United host Orlando Pirates with the home side still winless this season (0 wins, 1 draw, 3 losses), while the visitors top the table with a perfect 10 points from 4 matches. This game looks like one-way traffic, but Kruger United have drawn 0-0 in their last 2 home matches, and a defense that has conceded just 2 goals in the last 2 games (1-2, 0-2) suggests they are not a team that will open up and be easily dismantled. Orlando Pirates are on a 4-match winning run, and 3 of their last 5 wins have been by 2 or more goals (3-0, 2-0, 3-0), but visiting a team that sits deep like this may require time to break down. Pirates score most frequently in the 31-45 minute period (22% of all goals), while Kruger United concede most in the 76-90 minute period (24%). So goals may come in the first half or late on. If Orlando Pirates cannot unlock the game in the first half, it could end with a single-goal margin, which would not be enough to cover 1.25.
