Usuthu have lost four of their last seven league matches. They can finish anywhere between fifth and ninth in the table going into the final round.

After three straight defeats, AmaZulu bounced back with a 1-0 home win over Richards Bay. A 1-0 loss at Stellenbosch saw 2.79 xG allowed before a late 1-0 win at Golden Arrows.

Their last match saw a lead surrendered in a 1-1 home draw with Polokwane City. They allowed 15 shots in a below-par display.

Target man Elmo Kambindu is an injury doubt. Versatile defender Abbubakar Mobara will need a late fitness test.
