Here is the best Orlando Pirates vs Royal AModds ahead of the clash on Tuesday. Note that these ods are subject to change.
Orlando Pirates odds: 23/50 (1.46) – 68%
Draw odds: 321/100 (4.21) – 24%
Royal AM odds: 119/20 (6.95) – 14%
From the odds, Orlando have at least a 68% win probability. H2H also favour the hosts who have in the past outwitted Royal AM to bag the most wins across all competitions.
Orlando Pirates have been the dominant side in this matchup against Royal AM. They won it 13 times in the past, so while they lost their season opener, we expect the host to lead at the break in this Tuesday 8th August clash. With that, you could check the first-half betting odds for Orlando Pirates vs Royal AM and bet on the hosts to lead at the interval.
And note that this fixture hasn't yielded lots of goals on many occasions, not to mention the poor scoring form on both ends, overs/unders in the team goals as well as match goals are other markets worth a price in this South African Premiership. The price of under 2.5 match goals is 1.73, representing an implied probability of 58%.
Orlando Pirates vs Royal AM Preview, Lineups and Team News
Orlando Pirates
A losing start to the campaign is something Orlando Pirates should treat as a temporary setback heading into this game. They lost narrowly away from home in a 1-0 defeat to Stellenbosch. But the fact that the Pirates were the dominant side in the season opener with a 69% possession means they could be hard to beat in this second game of the season. They had 3 shots on target and hit the woodwork once but were unlucky.
Orlando Pirates predicted lineup: Sipho, Monyane, Sibisi, Xoki, Hotto, Monare, Ndlondlo, Saleng, Makaringe, Maswanganyi, and Lepasa.
Royal AM
A barren draw against AmaZulu FC in the season opener is all Royal AM to kick-start the 23/24 campaign. However, playing away from home against Orlando is something Royal AM wouldn't have wanted to meet at this point in the season. They have lost this matchup 11 times in the previous 20 duels, winning it only thrice. Royal AM had 3 shorts on target from a 56% possession in their season opener against AmaZulu.
Golden Arrows Predicted lineup: Mpoto, Mogaila, Manganyi, Sikakane, Matiaba, Kobedi, Msomi, Radebe, Thikazi, Macuphu, and Masuku.
Starting lineups
Orlando Pirates vs Royal AM Arrows lineups will be announced 60 minutes before kick-off.
