TS Galaxy
One of the intriguing fixtures of the sixth round of the South African Premier League will take place on Tuesday in Mbombela, where TS Galaxy will host Orlando Pirates. Here’s our expert prediction for this match from the Dailysports team.
TS Galaxy
Last season, the "Rockets" fought hard for a spot in African competitions, ultimately finishing in sixth place, six points adrift of the top three. However, their start to the new Premier League campaign has been disastrous, currently sitting in 15th place in the standings.
In their four matches played, TS Galaxy has managed to accumulate just one point, courtesy of a 1-1 draw against Marumo Gallants last weekend. Additionally, they successfully advanced past Chippa United in the League Cup, scoring a decisive goal in extra time.
Orlando Pirates
The Pirates are the reigning vice-champions of the country and continue to compete on multiple fronts. In the league, they have been in stellar form, winning all five of their matches so far. Currently, they top the table, leading Mamelodi Sundowns by three points.
In their latest outing, the Pirates secured a 2-1 home victory against AmaZulu. Notably, the club has successfully qualified for the group stage of the Champions League. Earlier this month, Orlando Pirates clinched the Cup of Eight, defeating Stellenbosch 3-1 in the final, with two of the goals coming in stoppage time. However, they faced an unexpected exit from the League Cup, losing 3-2 to Magesi.
