Sekhukhune vs Orlando Pirates tips and predictions

Sekhukhune can go the distance

There's not much between Sekhukhune and Orlando Pirates in the Premier League. The hosts are in sixth place with 30 points, compared to their opponents who are in second place on 33 points.

There's not much up for grabs in the 1X2 odds and the short price for Orlando Pirates has made them a terrible bet. Sekhukhune don't look likely to get the win but they might keep the visitors on their toes. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick but it's certainly not something to get carried away with.

These sides have impressed at the back. Having created something of a fortress against pressure, Sekhukhune have conceded only 3 goals in their last 7 matches and Orlando Pirates have conceded only 1 goal in their last 3 matches on the road.

The betting markets suggest that at least one of these sides will keep a clean sheet because of the favouritism for Orlando Pirates. The No BTTS bet looks like the best play.

Sekhukhune have drawn 5 of their last 12 matches on their own soil coupled with the fact that Orlando Pirates have drawn 7 of their last 19 away matches. It's not very exciting and it feels like a match to sit on the fence about. The draw is the play after what will probably be a low-scoring affair.
