Kick-off times in CAT
Golden Arrows will look to claim the scalp of Orlando Pirates as one of the key games in Matchday 22 of the 2018/19 Absa Premiership season. The Durban and Soweto sides will meet at the Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium on Saturday night (20h15).
Arrows played to their 10th league draw of the season when they were held 1-1 away to Chippa United on February 22, while Pirates broke a three-game winless run in the league by thrashing AmaZulu 4-1 at home the following day – greatly reviving their title hopes.
Earlier in the day, champions Mamelodi Sundowns will play a fourth match in the space of 11 days when they welcome Bloemfontein Celtic to Loftus Versfeld Stadium (15h30).

When the teams met earlier this season, at the Dr Molemela Stadium in October 2018, they played out a goalless stalemate. Three of the last four league meetings of Sundowns and Celtic have ended in 0-0 draws.
League leaders Bidvest Wits will renew their rivalry with Cape Town City when the teams meet at Bidvest Stadium on Saturday night (20h15). The Clever Boys have claimed just one victory in their last five league outings and their most recent result was a 1-1 draw at home to title rivals Sundowns, though they did beat City 2-0 when the teams met earlier this season in Cape Town.
