The visiting AmaZulu side should be favourites in this visit to Black Leopards, as the away team holds a 21 point advantage from their 20 league games this season.
- Black Leopards have the most conceded goals (35) in Premier League
- AmaZulu is in the best form (5-1-0)
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
AmaZulu 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.
Black Leopards form and stats
Black Leopards's results here at Thohoyandou Stadium in the Premier League have been very modest with 2 victories, 1 draw and 7 defeats.

R. Kabwe was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against Mamelodi Sundowns after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?
