Orlando Pirates form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Orlando Pirates's two home games in the Premier League so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Orlando Stadium. With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for Orlando Pirates. Orlando Pirates have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

The points were shared in Orlando Pirates's previous game, also at home. Visiting Golden Arrows travelled back with a point after a 0-0 scoreline. The points were shared before that, a CAF Champions League home game that ended 1-1 versus Green Eagles.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Orlando Pirates matches with similar probabilities have ended with 2 wins, 2 draws and 0 defeats (from four games).

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Orlando Pirates at home in the league. 3 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

The Premier League season is young and Golden Arrows have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Orlando Pirates in their previous outing. The Premier League match ended in a draw 0-0. Before that, Golden Arrows secured a home win against Chippa United with the score 2-1.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Golden Arrows when being an outsider away as they are today, we find two matches with the visitors losing 0 times, drawing 2 and winning 0 games.

Golden Arrows have the goal stats of 0-5 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
