One of the matches of the 14th round of the South African Premier League will be played on Thursday in Durban, at the "Chatsworth Stadium," where local side Royal AM will host Orlando Pirates. I suggest a bet on the outcome of this clash with good chances of winning.
Match preview
"Tvhli Tvala" fought to stay in the elite division last season and successfully achieved their goal. However, the club's roster potential does not allow Royal AM to make a significant leap in results, and it seems the new season will be just as challenging. Currently, after 11 matches, Royal AM is in 15th place in the league table, with 8 points on their balance.
They are just one point behind Richards Bay, sitting in the safe 14th position. In 11 matches, the team has only secured one victory, with five losses. In the last round, "Tvhli Tvala" hosted TS Galaxy at home and lost 1:3.
Meanwhile, Orlando Pirates is having a very good season in the Premier League, and after 11 matches, they are in second place in the league table with 27 points, three points behind Mamelodi Sundowns. At the same time, Polokwane is two points behind, but they have played three more matches.
In the last round, Orlando Pirates played an away match against Cape Town City and lost 0:1. However, after that, in two Champions League matches, the Pirates took all three points, winning 2:1 against Belouizdad and 2:1 against Al-Ahly. As a result, Orlando Pirates won their group and advanced to the playoffs in first place.
