Both teams are enjoying a good season so far and games like this could be decisive. Here's the preview for AmaZulu - Mamelodi Sundowns!
- AmaZulu is in the best form (6-0-0)
- Mamelodi Sundowns have the most scored goals (34) in Premier League
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Nedbank Cup.
AmaZulu form and stats
AmaZulu have collected 21 points from their Premier League home games so far after 6-3-2. AmaZulu has a nice streak going on as they have played twelve consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Kaizer Chiefs defeat 98 days ago. AmaZulu has won so many consecutive home games (four in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Jonsson Kings Park Stadium. We remember; it was Maritzburg United.
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Veli Mothwa not having conceded a league goal in 473 minutes.
Happy days for AmaZulu in their previous game, a Premier League match away at Stellenbosch (placed 12th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Before that match, a win away at Black Leopards.
The victory against Stellenbosch came after T. Qalinge's winning goal. The AmaZulu manager B. McCarthy was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 76th minute. Some amazing scenes last match, when T. Qalinge scored the winning goal two minutes into stoppage time.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Premier League game versus TS Galaxy in only three days. This game is also played here at Jonsson Kings Park Stadium.
AmaZulu has scored 16 league goals at home this season, in 11 matches. AmaZulu are not conceding a lot of goals here at Jonsson Kings Park Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 10 from 11 matches.
Mamelodi Sundowns form and stats
Mamelodi Sundowns, who have the most scored goals (34) in Premier League, have an excellent away record in the Premier League so far with 7-3-0 from 10 games. A great winning streak in away games for Mamelodi as they have managed to win four matches in a row as the visitors. Not since the SuperSport United have they travelled home without three points.
Before that, Mamelodi Sundowns secured a home win against Orlando Pirates with the score 4-1.
A new game in only four days for Mamelodi Sundowns, the Premier League home match versus Kaizer Chiefs. Busy days.
Mamelodi has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 18 goals from 10 games. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (6 so far). It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
