Orlando Pirates: fixtures, stats and analysis
Orlando Pirates were founded in 1937 in Orlando, Soweto, and play their home matches at Orlando Stadium in the township where the club began. Supporters know them as the Buccaneers or simply the Bucs, as well as The Sea Robbers and The Happy People. On the continental stage, Pirates won the African Champions Cup, today's CAF Champions League, in 1995. At home, their defining fixture is the Soweto Derby against Kaizer Chiefs, a club formed by former Pirates player Kaizer Motaung; the two sides first met on 24 January 1970. IASHARK updates this page daily with the Bucs' upcoming fixtures and SAST kick-off times, their position on the PSL log, their recent results and, where a match analysis already exists, the public confidence index of the model with a direct link to it. The numbers come from real match data and statistical models: they describe probabilities, not certainties, and IASHARK is not a bookmaker.
