It's time to decide the outcome of the CAF Confederations Cup Quarter-finals meeting between Orlando Pirates and Simba. Get ready for the match with this full betting preview!
11-5-9 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Simba when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 25 matches are 26-19 (scored/conceded).
These teams have little in common geographically as Simba have to travel 3500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
