I predict a home win (1). Orlando Pirates have a clear advantage in home metrics: 71% home win rate, averaging 1.79 goals scored and only 0.36 conceded per match, and 71% clean sheets. In the hosts’ attack, average home xG is 2.24 versus away xG for the visitors of 1.23, and the hosts average 18.71 shots (7 on target) per match compared to Durban City’s 9.86 (2.79 on target), translating into a higher quantity and quality of chances. Durban City average 0.79 goals on the road, have 57% of away matches without scoring and concede 1.21 goals away; in the last 5 matches the visitors scored 7 and conceded 9, while Orlando scored 11 and conceded 3 in their last 5. Based on this I assess the probability of a home win at 75%, draw 15% and away win 10%.
