Match description

Orlando Pirates are clear favorites: they sit 2nd in the table and have scored 56 goals this season versus Orbit College’s 21 (15th). In attack the visitors average 2.21 goals on the road with an average xG of 2.00, while the hosts score only 0.71 goals at home with an average xG of 1.06. Defensively the gap is even more pronounced — Orlando concede an average of 0.5 goals away and have 12 goals conceded this season, whereas Orbit have conceded 45 goals and concede 1.5 goals per home match; the visitors have kept a clean sheet in 64% of away games versus 29% for the hosts. Quality of chances is confirmed by shot numbers: 16.29 shots and 6.00 on target away for Orlando versus 8.71 shots and 2.14 on target for Orbit, with shot accuracy 14% vs 8%. In the last 5 matches Orbit scored 4 goals, won 1 and average 1 point per match, while the visitors scored 9 goals, remained unbeaten in those 5 matches (3 wins, 2 draws) and average 2.2 points per match; therefore I predict an away win.
