TTM were not in their best form before the recess in the GladAfrica Championship, having lost back-to-back matches and dropped down to 12th on the standings.
Arrows, meanwhile, will be hoping to reach the last 16 of the tournament for the first time since 2019 after bowing out in the first round for two consecutive years.
In 2020, Abafana Bes'thende were knocked out by lower league side VUT Students and last year they were dumped out by provincial rivals AmaZulu.
Abafana Bes'thende's Premiership position, tenth, does not tell the full story of their season so far. Lehlohonolo Seema's charges are hard to beat, as they have gone eight matches without a loss before the recess.
