Pirates looking to buld on momentum

Arrows began the season as one of the early pace-setters, consistently featuring in the top three spots on the log, but have since gone on a four-match losing streak.

They have managed a mere three points in their last five outings, with their last victory dating back to late October when they snatched a home win over Kaizer Chiefs.

Pirates are currently unbeaten in their last five matches, collecting 13 out of a possible 15 points through four wins and a draw. 

After seeing off Moroka Swallows and TS Galaxy, they will be chasing a third consecutive victory which could propel them as high as second place with two fixtures remaining before the looming recess.
