AmaZulu vs Durban City Predictions - Usuthu to edge KZN Derby
AmaZulu and Durban City are set to face off in a closely contested match. AmaZulu, tipped to win by a narrow 1-0 margin, hopes to capitalize on the return of key players like Siyanda Hlangabeza and the form of forward Thando Ngwenya. Despite Durban City's strong home record this season, they have struggled in away games. AmaZulu has won their last three home matches, all by one-goal margins. The strategic edge and psychological momentum favor AmaZulu as they look to climb the league table.
- AmaZulu aims for a 1-0 victory over Durban City.
- Thando Ngwenya crucial for AmaZulu; has 4 goals in last 5 matches.
- Durban City struggles away but excels at home this season.

Durban City are having a great season so far. With three home wins in four matches, they sit fourth in the league standings.
Gavin Hunt’s side beat Siwelele 2-0 at home before having just 22% possession in a one-sided 3-1 defeat at Mamelodi Sundowns. After a 0-0 draw at Stellenbosch, they beat Magesi 3-1 with all three strikes in the second half.
Their last match brought a 4-1 home success over Polokwane City in the Carling Knockout Cup. Durban City scored three goals in extra time as defender Fezile Gcaba scored a hattrick.
The starting XI is very settled. The only real choices for the coach are in attack. Joslin Kamatuka and Letsie Koapeng are fighting to lead the line as the lone striker.
Saziso Magawana started down the left wing last time out. Haashim Domingo is set to take his place in the starting lineup here.
Durban City Predicted Lineup
Keet; Gcaba, Ncanana, Mkhize, Mashego; Jurgens, Jodwana; Maseko, Mokwena, Domingo; Kamatuka.
Verdict
I see AmaZulu winning this match. I'm tipping a one-goal margin of victory.
