NextGOAL tip: Orlando Pirates -1.25 · 1 stars
Marumo Gallants FC and Orlando Pirates meet in clearly opposite conditions. The hosts just lost 0-1 at home in their last match and have not won a single league game all season, while the visitors just thrashed their opponent 2-0 in the league and are also unbeaten in the league. Marumo Gallants FC sit 16th with a record of 6 matches: 2 draws, 4 losses, 5 scored, 11 conceded. Their attack is blunt and their defense is not solid. Orlando Pirates are 2nd with 16 points from 6 matches: 5 wins, 1 draw, 14 scored, only 1 conceded. Their defense is stingy and their attack is clearly productive. In this game we will likely see Orlando Pirates dominating possession and pushing forward, while Marumo Gallants FC drop deep to defend and wait for the occasional counterattack. If the hosts can hold out for a long time, the game could drag on, but if the visitors score first, the momentum will likely flow in one direction.
