Orlando Pirates have won 3 and drawn 2 in their last 5 matches, but interestingly, the 2 matches they won by a large margin were 2-0 and 3-0, while the other 3 ended with scores of 1-1, 1-1, and 1-0 — the home side's attack has been both explosive and narrow. This season they average 2 goals per match and concede only 0.33 goals per match. Their strong home form is likely to pressure Sekhukhune United into a deep defensive block, and with Orlando Pirates scoring most frequently in the 76-90 minute period (21%), while Sekhukhune United concede most in the same period (28%), this match is likely to be decided in the final 15 minutes when the home side push hard and the away team begin to tire.
