Arrows are in danger of fighting relegation after they lost their fourth game in five matches with a 2-1 defeat to Royal AM the last time out.

Abafana Bes'thende are precariously lying 13th on the table, just one point above the relegation zone.

Arrows were eliminated in the first round last season by second-tier side Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila on penalties after a 1-1 draw in extra-time.

Moving on, Callies are on a four-match unbeaten run in the Motsepe Foundation Championship as they seek to avoid relegation after playing to a goalless draw against All Stars last weekend.

The Romans are just above the relegation zone on goal difference on the table and reached the last 32 of this tournament after edging fellow second-tier side JDR Stars 1-0 in the qualifiers.

Callies will take inspiration from their run in 2021 after reaching the semi-finals of this tournament before they were eliminated by Chippa United, who narrowly won 1-0.

Here's how they line up:

Golden Arrows: Mbatha, Cele, Mantshiyane, Hlatshwayo, Mjengu, Dube, Gumbi, Khumalo, Mmodi, Lunga, Mutizwa

Subs: Gumede, Ndlovu, Magawana, Magubane, Nkosi, Moon, Fikizolo

Pretoria Callies: Maova, Georgiades, Mogaswa, Ismail, Noge, Kwayiba, Mbatha, Dubula, Menziwa, Jacobs, Mthembu
