Black Leopards are preparing themselves for a tricky hurdle. They will lock horns with Orlando Pirates in their Absa Premiership League match at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane next Wednesday evening.

The two sides are still celebrating their victories of last weekend. Leopards rose to the occasion and beat Ajax Cape Town 1-0 at the Cape Town Stadium, while The Buccaneers came back with a 1-0 win over Free State Stars.

Pirates must win the match in order to remain a contender for the league championship. They are currently in the second spot, four points behind Kaizer Chiefs. On the other hand, Leopards need the points badly, in order to jump from the 10th to the fifth spot on the log.

In the other PSL matches that will also be played next Wednesday, Lamontville Golden Arrows will play against Bloemfontein Celtics at the King Zwelithini Stadium in Durban. The University of Pretoria will pay a visit to Free State Stars at the Charles Mopedi Stadium and Mamelodi Sundowns will host Amazulu at the Loftus Stadium in Pretoria.

Four matches will be played tomorrow evening. Kaizer Chiefs will rub shoulders with Moroka Swallows at Soccer City, and Bidvest Wits and Ajax Cape Town will meet at the Bidvest Stadium in Johannesburg. Maritzburg City and Supersport United will meet at the Harry Gwala Stadium in Pietermaritzburg, while Chippa United will play against Platinum Stars at the Athlone Stadium in Cape Town.
