With Mamelodi Sundowns closing in another league title, SuperSport, Pirates, Kaizer Chiefs and Cape Town City are now battling for the runners-up spot.
SuperSport currently sit in second spot heading into this afternoon's clash and a win will see them move eight points clear of third-place Pirates with six games to go.
Gavin Hunt's charges have won their last two league encounters, including a 2-1 victory over Golden Arrows two weeks ago.
SuperSport come up against a Pirates side who were taken to extra-time by Motsepe Foundation Championship side Venda Football Academy in the Nedbank Cup this past weekend.
The Soweto giants will be targeting nothing less than maximum points as they push for back-to-back league wins for only the second time this year.
The two sides played to a goalless draw when they met earlier in the season, although SuperSport's last league win over Pirates in Soweto came in 2014.
