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.

Head to Head

AmaZulu Form & Team News


AmaZulu are winless in three matches. They have 11 points from eight rounds of action and sit mid-table after a mixed start. 

After two fortunate 1-1 draws, they beat Stellenbosch 2-1. A 3-1 defeat at TS Galaxy came with ten men, before being outshot 23-3 in an undeserved 1-1 draw at Kaizer Chiefs. 

Their last match saw an early exit from the Carling Knockout Cup. AmaZulu were beaten 3-2 at home by Magesi. 

Experienced midfielder Bongani Zungu is injured and Ben Motshwari has seen his contract terminated. 

Siyanda Hlangabeza returns from suspension to start in midfield. Thando Ngwenya is the key man up front with four goals in his last five PSL matches.

AmaZulu Predicted Lineup


Johnson; Allan, Mthethwa, Fielies; Radebe, Hlangabeza, Ekstein, Mbanjwa, Hanamub; Kutumela, Ngwenya.

Durban City Form & Team News


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.
