Orlando Pirates and Golden Arrows have unveiled their starting lineups for the eagerly anticipated Betway Premiership match at the Orlando Amstel Arena.
Pirates’ title bid continues tonight against Arrows, following a commendable run of seven wins in their last 10 matches, with two draws and one loss, which was against Mamelodi Sundowns.

Currently second in the league with 51 points, just two points behind leaders Sundowns, Pirates are also the second-highest scoring team with 40 goals, narrowly behind Sundowns’ 41 goals.
Meanwhile, Manqoba Mngqithi’s side, Arrows, aim for a top eight finish, leveraging their attacking prowess that has yielded 28 goals, the third highest in the league.
However, Arrows need to work on their defence after conceding 26 goals. In their last 10 games, Arrows managed three wins, three draws, and four losses, and were eliminated from the Nedbank Cup, leaving them with no chance of winning a trophy this season.
Historically, Pirates have dominated this fixture, winning all seven previous meetings and scoring 22 goals, a trend Arrows will be keen to end.
Below are the starting lineups for both teams:
Pirates Starting XI: Chaine, Sebelebele, Seema, Sibisi, Hotto, Nemtajela, Mbatha, Moremi, Mofokeng, Appollis, Mbuthuma
Subs: Buthelezi, Chabatsane, Maswanganyi, Mbule, Van Rooyen, Makgopa, De Jong, Makhaula, Ndaba
Arrows Starting XI: Maova, Van Rooi, Dion, Mabaso, Jiyane, Dlamini, Sibiya, Maxwele, Mafuleka, Shezi, Zwane
