Orlando Pirates are set for a tricky Premier Soccer League fixture on Tuesday at the Orlando Amstel Arena.

This will be a massive game for the Sea Robbers, who are going for nothing less than a win to continue their chase for the title. The Buccaneers last won the South African top flight football in the 2011/12 season.

How vital is the game for Orlando Pirates

The Sea Robbers are currently placed second on the table with 51 points from 22 games, two points less than leaders and defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns.

Victory for Bucs will ensure they keep pressure on Masandawana who are determined to win their ninth crown in as many seasons.

If they lose the match, or drop points, they might as well forget about winning the race since just eight rounds remain before concluding the ongoing edition. A defeat might demoralise the players which will see them end the campaign badly.

What the game means for Golden Arrows

Abafana Bes’thende have won eight games from the 22 they have played in the ongoing edition. Arrows have drawn four and lost 10 of the fixtures meaning they have 28 points, which puts them eighth on the table.

Victory on Tuesday will bring them closer to their target of ensuring they play in the MTN8 next season. Manqoba Mngqithi’s men fell 3-1 in the last meeting, and will be hoping to avenge the defeat.

When and where to watch Orlando Pirates vs Arrows

The game will be staged at the Orlando Amstel Arena on Tuesday.
