Golden Arrows vs AmaZulu Predictions & Tips - Away win to keep AmaZulu’s title hopes alive

Arrows have lost just two matches all season but have drawn five of their last six matches and failed to score in their last two. AmaZulu simply have to win this match to keep pace with log leaders Mamelodi Sundowns and I am tipping them to win this derby to make it 12 wins in 14 matches.

AmaZulu hold a 12-10 advantage across the previous 25 matches played between these sides with just three draws.

The sides last met in the Nedbank Cup in February as the match ended 1-1 with AmaZulu winning on penalties.

Arrows have enjoyed a superb season and sit third in the PSL table having lost just two of their 25 league matches as they find themselves on a nine match unbeaten streak.

Two away wins in a week at Black Leopards and TTM were followed by three consecutive 1-1 draws as they came back from behind twice. A 1-0 win at SuperSport United preceded a 0-0 draw at Chippa United in a match where Arrows were without three key players.

The last match saw a 0-0 draw at Mamelodi Sundowns in a high tempo affair in which Arrows were full value for their point.

Arrows finally have midfield workhorse Ntsako Makhubela back from suspension for this match. His selection is expected to be the only change to the XI.

Coach Mandla Ncikazi has a full squad to select from with no injuries or bans to serve.

Benni McCarthy has AmaZulu in truly sensational form with 11 wins in 13 PSL matches. They sit just one point behind Mamelodi Sundowns but have played two more matches.

AmaZulu’s success has been built a on solid defence as four 1-0 wins in a six match winning run was followed by a solid 0-0 draw at Sundowns. The side then got back to winning ways by beating TS Galaxy 2-1 with the opposition’s goal being a late consolation.

Their last match saw an incredible 5-1 win away at Cape Town City as Benni McCarthy’s side ran riot. Five different players were on target in a superb performance.

AmaZulu have captain Mbongeni Gumede available again in defence after suspension so youngster Samkelo Mgwazela could drop to the bench.

Benni McCarthy has a full squad to work with and no injuries or suspended players.
