Date: 03 September 2011
Venue: Princess Magogo Stadium
Time: 15h00
Arrows had a worrying start after back-to-back defeats but they have since steadied the ship with a three-match unbeaten run.
However, Abafana Bes'thende only had their first win in their previous game after edging AmaZulu 1-0 in the KwaZulu-Natal derby.
Vusimuzi Vilakazi and Mabhuti Khenyeza's charges are lying second-from-bottom with five points, just two points off the top eight spots.
Moving on to Chippa, they have struggled to combine a consistent run of performances, with their only standout result being a narrow 1-0 win over Orlando Pirates in mid-August.
The Chilli Boys have not won since beating Pirates after they were held to a goalless draw by TS Galaxy ten days ago.
Daine Klate's troops are lying just above Arrows in 14th spot on the table, with the same number of points.
The sides cancelled each other out last season with a win apiece in their league meetings.
