Orlando Pirates are home for their next DStv Premiership encounter on Saturday, 6 April against Golden Arrows at the Orlando Stadium.
Kick-off is at 17:30.
A busy week concludes with another crucial league outing for the Buccaneers, who renew rivalries with Abafana Bes’thende as the season heads toward the final stretch.
Form guide
Orlando Pirates return home following a gruelling few days on the road where they only managed a single point in two matches, a turn of results that has seen them drop to fourth place in the standings.
The last of these outcomes was a one-all stalemate in the Original Soweto derby against rivals Moroka Swallows, who netted first at Dobsonville Stadium before Patrick Maswanganyi’s second-half equaliser secured a point for the Buccaneers.
It was their second draw in five matches, taking their points tally over this period to eight points notched up through two wins and as many draws.
Orlando Pirates now gear up for a Golden Arrows side unbeaten in their last three games, fresh off a 2-2 draw at home to SuperSport United where they came back from two goals down to steal a point and maintain ninth place in the standings.
The Durbanites have secured seven points in their last five matches, all coming in their three most recent outings where they have won twice and played to a single stalemate.
They head to Orlando Stadium looking to further underline their resurgent form, with victory holding the potential to push them back into the top eight.
That clash is one of seven scheduled for the upcoming weekend.
