BETWAY PREMIERSHIP: GOLDEN ARROWS VS ORLANDO PIRATES
The Sea Robbers are looking to dislodge Kaizer Chiefs from second place as they visit Abafana Bes’thende in Durban.
The Sea Robbers are unbeaten in seven league games, with six wins and a draw. The hosts, Arrows, are not too shabby either. Manqoba Mngqithi’s side have three wins in the last four outings, scoring 11 goals in the series.
Orlando Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has made three changes. In defence, Nkosinathi Sibisi has replaced Mbekezeli Mbokazi, while Nkosinathi Ndaba is in for Deon Hotto at left-back.
In the number 10 role, Sipho Mbule is back in place of the 20-year-old sensation Cemran Dansin. Relebohile Mofokeng has made the matchday squad for the first time in 31 days.
