Orlando Pirates face a stern test of their league credentials this
Wednesday as they travel to the King Goodwill Zwelithini Stadium to take on
a high-flying Golden Arrows side.
Team Form and Stakes
The Buccaneers are looking to build momentum after a hard-fought 1-1 draw
against Mamelodi Sundowns, a result that leaves them in fourth place.
However, they face an Arrows team brimming with confidence following a
dominant 4-0 victory over Marumo Gallants. The home side will rely on the
red-hot form of striker Sede Dion, who netted his sixth goal of the season
in that win.
This clash pits Pirates’ quest to climb the table against Arrows’ ambition
to continue their ascent from eighth position.

The teams have been announced as follows:
Golden Arrows Starting XI: Ngcobo, Madonsela, Jiyane, Karelse, S. Cele,
Mantshiyane, Maxwele, Dlamini, Ndlovu, Cisse, Dion.
