The Buccaneers' loss against City extended their losing streak in the league to three matches, as they dropped down to ninth on the table.

Abafana Bes'thende find themselves in seventh on the standings, with the same number of points as three other teams, including Pirates but have a superior goal difference.
Arrows will be without Siyabonga Khumalo due to suspension after he was sent off in the tail end of the loss to Kaizer Chiefs.
The Buccaneers won the first round meeting 2-0 in Durban courtesy of a brace by Monnapule Saleng, with both goals assisted by Kermit Erasmus.
