Golden Arrows vs Highlands Park: PSL live scores, kick-off time, prediction and preview

In another crucial fixture in the race for top eight spots, Golden Arrows host Highlands Park at the Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium on Saturday.

The Lions of the North saw off Bloemfontein Celtic 2-0 on 15 February before drawing 2-2 with Bidvest Wits and then knocking Kaizer Chiefs out of the Nedbank Cup on penalties.

Highlands Park are on a high, but their status in next season’s MTN8 is not yet secure. The fixture against Abafana Bes’thende could have a major bearing on that.

Arrows themselves are in impressive form, having beaten SuperSport United and AmaZulu in their last two league games.

Former Kaizer Chiefs coach Steve Komphela will be up against ex-Orlando Pirates boss Owen da Gama with two top local tacticians going hammer and tongs in an intriguing chess game.

“With a character like that, no one will take anything away from you. But you must give credit to Chiefs, they played very well. But unfortunately, it is not easy at Makhulong, everybody knows that,” da Gama said after the Nedbank Cup win over Chiefs, as per SowetanLIVE.
