Golden Arrows and Orlando Pirates have announced their respective starting lineups for tonight’s Betway Premiership encounter at Mpumalanga Stadium.
Arrows found themselves just outside the top eight after failing to win a match in the four games. The KwaZulu-Natal-based side last won a match against Kaizer Chiefs since they were knocked out of the Nedbank Cup, played a 1-1 draw against TS Galaxy, lost 4-0 to Mamelodi Sundowns and played to a 1-1 draw against Cape Town City.

Meanwhile, the Buccaneers cannot afford any slip-ups at this stage in the title race after losing 4-1 to Sundowns. The Sea Robbers find themselves in second place with 33 points after 14 games and are the second highest-scoring team.
The last time these two sides faced each other, Pirates humiliated Arrows 7-1 at Orlando Stadium with a win for the Bucs keeping them closer to Sundowns at the top while Abafana Bes’thende would keep their hopes of finishing in the top eight alive if they upset Pirates.
