Two DSTV Premiership matches take place on Tuesday and our focus is on the clash between Orlando Pirates and Cape Town City
Orlando Pirates
Pirates have played 3 league games and results have been mixed. They began with a 1-0 loss away to Stellenbosch before putting themselves on the board with a 4-2 home win over Royal AM. A 1-1 draw at Chippa was a bit of disappointment but the Bucs coasted have also through a Champions League qualifier against Djabal with a 4-0 aggregate win.
Pirates have also progressed in the MTN8 after thrashing Sekhukhune 5-0 in another home game.
Cape Town City
City have played 4 league games which have delivered 2 wins and 2 defeats. They started with a pair of 1-0 victories, at home to Polokwane and away to Swallows. Thereafter they lost 1-0 away to unbeaten Supersport and then went down 1-0 at home to Sekhukhune. Throw in an early 2-1 home defeat to Chiefs in the MTN8 and City come into this game on a 3 match losing streak.
Head to Head
Last season City beat Pirates 2-1 in Cape Town and Pirates were 2-1 winners when the teams met in Orlando.
The Betting
Pirates are trading at 0.92/1 to win the game with the draw priced at 2.18 and City can be backed at around 31/10
A game of 3 goals or more is priced at 13/10 and it's 21/20 for both teams to score.

The Verdict
Pirates are already involved in 3 competitions and games are coming thick and fast. That would be of some concern to me in terms of taking an odds price but City seem to have gone off the boil.
Given the Bucs have been in terrific goal scoring form in Orlando they might just have enough anyway and I will go with the hosts to win and keep a clean sheet at a better price and for a small stake
Bet: Home team win “to nil” at 1.65/1 with Playabets
