Golden Arrows are in a relegation playoff scrap in the Betway Premiership and enter this match seeking maximum points. They play host to second-placed Orlando Pirates at Mpumalanga Stadium on matchday 18. Here's our match prediction.
Golden Arrows dropped to 13th place in the Betway Premiership standings after suffering a 3-0 home defeat at the hands of Stellenbosch last Saturday. Thanks to Cape Town City's blunder in their match against Sundowns, they still maintain a three-point cushion over the relegation playoff spot.
Abafana Bes'thende come into this match riding low on confidence. They have gone four games without a win in the league, recording two losses and two draws.
Their downfall this season has been well-documented, and it's in relation to their lack of creativity in the final third. So far, they have failed to make the net ripple in 13 of their last 23 league games.
Orlando Pirates are riding high on confidence after securing bragging rights in the Soweto Derby against Kaizer Chiefs. The hosts emerged 2-1 victors at the FNB Stadium, extending their dominance in the fixture to five straight wins.
The Buccaneers have been in great form in the league. They have won four of their last six matches and head into this match eyeing their second straight league win.
Away from home, they have won two straight and are unbeaten in their last four.
