AmaZulu have failed to score in their last 2 away matches.

Head to Head – One Usuthu Win

These clubs met for the first time in October.

AmaZulu won 1-0 at home in the reverse fixture.

Durban City Form - Winless in Seven League Matches

Durban City have drawn four straight PSL matches and are winless in seven. They won the Nedbank Cup, but they have looked distracted in their league matches.

A 5-2 loss at bottom-placed Magesi was followed by a 1-1 draw at home to Orbit College. They beat TS Galaxy 2-1 in the Nedbank Cup final before three straight league draws.

They drew 2-2 at Siwelele and 0-0 at home vs Stellenbosch. Their last match saw a 0-0 draw at Orlando Pirates despite being outshot 31-4 and having just two touches in the Pirates box all game.

Four Draws in Seven – AmaZulu Creeping to Finish Line

AmaZulu sit fourth in the PSL table have their last seven matches have seen just one win. They’ve drawn four and lost two fixtures in that streak.

A 3 -0 loss at Orlando Pirates saw 3.97 xG conceded. A superb 5-1 home win over Chippa United preceded 1-1 draw vs Golden Arrows and a 0-0 draw at Orbit College with just three shots attempted.

Their last match brought a 1-0 home loss to Kaizer Chiefs. Usuthu limited Chiefs to just 0.78 xG but lacked ruthlessness in attack.
