AmaZulu form and stats

The previous season, AmaZulu's league statistics were 8 wins, 17 draws and 5 losses, leading to 7th position in the Premier League. Over these 30 matches they scored 24 goals and let in 22. Appearing as the home side in the last season AmaZulu delivered 4-10-1 (win-draw-lost) with 12 goals and 8 conceded.

The AmaZulu coach Truter and his gang return home after a 0-0 draw away versus TS Galaxy (placed 13th).

Preceding that match was a defeat to Golden Arrows (1-2).

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how AmaZulu have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 21 matches with the results: Won 7, drawn 10 and lost 4.

The match schedule is unforgiving for AmaZulu as they have a new game in only three days, a Premier League match thankfully also at home. Cape Town City are visiting.
