Analysis:
A high-stakes encounter is set to unfold in the Premier Soccer League as Supersport United hosts Orlando Pirates on May 20, at 17:30 GMT, at Lucas Moripe Stadium, Atteridgeville. With the hosts vying for crucial 3 points to evade the danger zone against a Pirates side that boast one of the league’s most talented squads, this matchup promises intensity and quality football.
Special features:
Following Supersport United crucial 2-0 victory over Chippa United, their first win since February, they lost by 2-1 against Stellenbosch in their last match. Now they find themselves in the danger zone, sharing the same points with the last placed. This is their worst season since promoted to the PSL in 2008-09 season. Gavin Hunt’s side home record of 4W, 3D, and 4L raises questions of whether they will be able to stop the Bucs from continuing their impressive campaign.
Although three of Orlando Pirates’ five defeats in the league were on the road, they remain dangerous opponents to host. With a fluid attacking system under Jose Riveiro, they prioritize possession and quick interplay. A strategy seen in their recent match against TS Galaxy, despite conceding in the dying minute and settle for a 1-1 draw.
Suggestion:
The Buccaneers have nothing to fight for as Mamelodi Sundowns were crowned champions for the 8th time in a row. However, Supersport United’s home advantage seems to be of no significance for the bookies in this match. The hosts come to this match as underdogs, with their victory offered at @3.88, while the odds for Amabakabaka to win are @2.13, and a draw pays 2.96.
Considering Supersport United’s poor performance in the last game, and Pirates’ impressive display in latest match, we see value in backing the visitors to win. The odds are too good and you should register to a bookie made for winners right away and place your bet on this due before they drop!
