How to Watch

The match will be broadcast live on SuperSport 2, with kickoff at 19:30. Head coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has already guided Pirates to two domestic trophies this season, but the league title remains his ultimate target. The Buccaneers have endured a 14-year drought without lifting the Premiership trophy, and supporters will be hoping this campaign finally ends that wait. With just eight matches remaining, there is little room for error for the Sea Robbers. Although Pirates will start as favourites on home soil, the pressure of the title race could make this a tricky midweek assignment against a determined Arrows side. In the other match, Mamelodi Sundowns are away to Durban City, looking to extend their lead at the top should the Buccaneers drop points against Arrows.
