Pirates dropped points for the third consecutive game after they were held to a 1-1 draw by AmaZulu last Friday.
The Buccaneers have since slipped down to fifth on the Premiership standings and desperately looking to get back on the winning trail.
The Soweto giants have two injury concerns, Bandile Shandu and goalkeeper Richard Ofori, who will both be assessed ahead of the game.
Arrows, meanwhile, extended their unbeaten run to three matches after they played to a 1-1 draw with Stellenbosch last Friday.
Abafana Bes'thende have also lost some ground on the log, as they have dropped down to eighth, three points behind Pirates.
