AmaZulu Form – Winless in Three Matches After Eight Wins in 11

AmaZulu are winless in three matches. They had been on a run of eight wins in 11 matches in all competitions before this recent slump.

A 2-1 win at Polokwane City in the Nedbank Cup was followed by a 1-0 win at Richards Bay in the Nedbank Cup quarter-finals. A 1-0 home defeat vs Mamelodi Sundowns saw them allow 29 shots.

AmaZulu lost 1-0 away at Stellenbosch before a 0-0 home draw vs Magesi. Usuthu had just six shots in a toothless performance.

Three Wins in 12 League Matches – Casric Faltering in Promotion Race

Casric Stars currently sit fourth in the First Division. They’re just two points off the automatic promotion spot despite tasting victory just three times in their last 12 league matches.

A 2-1 win at Venda was followed by a 0-0 draw at home to promotion rivals Cape Town City. They won 3-0 at Army Rocket in the Nedbank Cup before drawing 2-2 at Hungry Lions in the league.

Casric drew 0-0 and won on penalties in a famous cup upset at Orlando Pirates. They beat The Bees 1-0 at home in their last match.

Predicted Lineups & Team News

AmaZulu (3-4-3): Johnson; Allan, Fielies, Mthethwa; Radebe, Zungu, Hlangabeza, Hanamub; Ekstein, Kambindu, Mbanjwa.

Usuthu have both Siyanda Hlangabeza and Bongani Zungu available in midfield. Ryan Bern is a slight doubt in the engine room.

Coach Arthur Zwane is without two strikers. Thandolwenkosi Ngwenya suspended and Ryan Moon is injured.
