AmaZulu hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 20 points and a 15th position in the Premier League table. Visiting Golden Arrows holds 7th place with 27 pts.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.
AmaZulu form and stats
AmaZulu, who have the most conceded goals (13) at home in Premier League, have collected 11 points from their Premier League home games so far after 3-2-5.
In their previous game, the manager J. Vukušič led his AmaZulu to a defeat in the Nedbank Cup match away at Bloemfontein Celtic. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at King Zwelithini Stadium. Ahead of that match, AmaZulu won a home game hosting Polokwane City (1-0).
AmaZulu have scored 5 goals here in 10 league matches, a depressing statistic. 13 goals have been conceded.
Golden Arrows form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Golden Arrows so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 1-4-5 (win-draw-lose).
Golden Arrows has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to VUT Students (after extra-time, 6-5 on penalties) for a Nedbank Cup game that ended a draw (2-2). That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus SuperSport United in the Premier League.
Golden Arrows are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 5 goals from 10 away games. Golden Arrows have conceded 15 goals in these games.
