AmaZulu are welcoming Black Leopards for another important game after their 0-1 result against Baroka.

The visiting Black Leopards played their last game only four days ago, a Premier League match.

Black Leopards have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

AmaZulu form and stats

7-5-2 (win-draw-lost) are the numbers at home for AmaZulu, who have the fewest conceded goals (9) at home in Premier League, so far this season.

In their previous game, the manager C. Johnson led his AmaZulu to a defeat in the Premier League match away at Baroka. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at King Goodwill Zwelithini Stadium. Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against SuperSport United.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how AmaZulu have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found three games) they have won 1 time, drawn 0 and lost 2.

AmaZulu has scored 19 goals at home this season, in 14 matches. AmaZulu have only conceded 9 in these games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Black Leopards form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Black Leopards, who have the fewest points (7) away in Premier League, so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 1-4-9 (win-draw-lose). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Black Leopards's last three away games as they have all been lost. Recent form does not give Black Leopards much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. AmaZulu will be a tough nut to crack.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Premier League home defeat versus Mamelodi Sundowns with 1-2 on the scoreboard. A 1-2 loss hosting Maritzburg United before that.

We have checked recent matches where Black Leopards have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those two games were W0-D1-L1.

The attacking power of Black Leopards when travelling is not overwhelming with 12 goals scored in 14 matches. Black Leopards have conceded 31 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Black Leopards - AmaZulu 3-1. Head-to-head totals (for the last nine meetings): AmaZulu won 5 games, 1 match ended with a draw and Black Leopards has 3 wins.
