Insights:
  • Golden Arrows have the most matches over the total-line (3) in Premier League

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the CAF Champions League. That game, against Big Bullets, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for AmaZulu.

This is a match between teams from the same area, a local derby. The community is buzzing.

AmaZulu are looking to quickly end their 402 minutes long goal drought in the Premier League. 226 minutes! That's how long the AmaZulu goalkeeper Veli Mothwa and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

A draw for AmaZulu before that, at their own venue hosting SuperSport United (0-0).

A new game in only three days for AmaZulu, the Premier League home match versus Baroka. Busy days.
