Orlando Pirates will hope to get back to winning ways when they host Golden Arrows in an Absa Premiership encounter on Wednesday.
The Soweto giants last tasted victory on the opening day of the league season when they beat Bloemfontein Celtic 3-1 at home.Since then, however, things have not gone well for the mighty Buccaneers as they have been knocked out of two competitions - the MTN8 and the Caf Champions League.
Things have not gone smoothly in the league either as Pirates were humbled 3-0 by Supersport United and then played out a goalless draw against Amazulu last week. Caretaker manager Rulani Mokwena is under pressure to convince Pirates chairman Irvin Khoza that he deserves the job full time but a win against Arrows will go a long way to silence any critics. Abafana Bes'thende, meanwhile have started the season with two wins from their first three games. They did have a blip however when they suffered a 5-0 mauling at the hands of Bloemfontein Celtic but bounced back to beat Chippa United last weekend.

The match kicks off at 19:30 from the Orlando stadium.
