Head to Head – Just Two Meetings

These clubs have met just twice in the past.

AmaZulu won 2-0 at home last season before the return fixture finished 1-1.

AmaZulu’s Inconsistent Form – Three Wins in 11

AmaZulu have had a mixed start to the season. They went out of the MTN8 cup but have four points from two tough league games so far.

Last season ended with a 1-0 home loss to Kaizer Chiefs and a 1-0 win at Durban City on the final day. This season began with a 1-0 win vs Stellenbosch in Durban as they scored from a penalty.

Last Sunday, they lost 4-3 at home to Sekhukhune United in the MTN8. AmaZulu bounced back in midweek to take a 1-1 draw with Orlando Pirates at home after growing into the game.

Two Wins in 11 – Siwelele Rebuilding After 24 Departures

Siwelele’s last 18 PSL matches have seen just three losses, but they’re drawing too many fixtures. A loss in midweek was a disappointing result.

A 7-4 loss vs Mamelodi Sundowns saw 4.23 xG allowed. They bounced back to beat Magesi 1-0 before a 2-2 draw on the final day at Sekhukhune United.

This season began with a 2-2 draw at home to TS Galaxy. In midweek, they lost 1-0 at newly promoted Milford despite dominating 15-10 on the shot count.
