AmaZulu vs SuperSport United Predictions & Tips - Well matched teams to take a point apiece

Both sides are playing well with AmaZulu much tighter at the back since Benni McCarthy took over. SuperSport have started drawing a lot of matches of late so I am tipping this match to end with a share of the spoils.

SuperSport United hold a 12-10 advantage over AmaZulu with five draws over their previous 27 matches.

Their last meeting was in December as SuperSport drew 1-1 at home with AmaZulu.

AmaZulu are enjoying improved form since Benni McCarthy took over and find themselves sitting 6th in the Premier Soccer League table after going seven league matches unbeaten.

AmaZulu won 2-0 at Baroka then beat Stellenbosch 2-1 and Bloemfontein Celtic 4-3 at home. A 1-1 draw and win on penalties at Golden Arrows followed in the Nedbank Cup before a 0-0 draw at Black Leopards and a 2-1 win at Kaizer Chiefs.

In their last match, they lost 1-0 away to Black Leopards in the Nedbank Cup with a heavily changed lineup.

AmaZulu only started three first choice players in the Nedbank Cup as eight starters were rested. All of them should be recalled for this match including Veli Mothwa in goal and key wingers Luvuyo Memela and Augustine Mulenga.

Siyethemba Sithebe returned from injury against Black Leopards but fellow midfielder Butholezwe Ncube remains absent.

SuperSport have had a strong campaign and sit 2nd in the PSL after 18 matches. They sit just three points off log leaders Mamelodi Sundowns but have played two matches more.

After a 2-0 win away at TTM, SuperSport drew 1-1 with Swallows and home and then lost 1-0 at TTM in the Nedbank Cup. A 2-1 defeat at Bloemfontein Celtic came next before a 2-1 home win against Cape Town City and a 1-1 draw at Kaizer Chiefs.

In their last match, SuperSport came from behind to draw 1-1 at home with Orlando Pirates after a fine second half performance.

Coach Kaitano Tembo switched to a 4-4-2 for the last match but could bring fit again star midfielder Teboho Mokoena into the XI for this match with striker Thamsanqa Gabuza missing out.

Speedy winger Giuly Manziba made a huge impact as a substitute against Orlando Pirates and could be set to start for the first time in several months after injury.
