LAMONTVILLE Golden Arrows and Moroka Swallows' season could hinge on Saturday's match at Chatsworth stadium .

Whoever wins the potential thriller will notch up their second win in a row, which will enhance their chances of finishing in a respectable position at the end of the season.

Arrows, who will host Swallows, lie 10th, a spot below Swallows on the table.

Abafana Bes'Thende beat Mamelodi Sundowns 1-0 while The Birds beat Jomo Cosmos 2-1 in their last league encounters.

The return from injury of speedy striker Siyabonga Nomvethe and burly Zambian striker Collins Mbesuma should boost Swallows' chances of chalking up a win in KwaZulu-Natal.

However, Arrows' slick passing game coupled with the threat of striker Richard Henyekane and Njabulo Manqana in midfield could prove too much for Swallows.
