Key Stats – Arrows Great Home Form, AmaZulu Poor on the Road

Golden Arrows have won 8 of their last 11 home matches.
Golden Arrows have scored 15 goals in their last 6 home matches.
AmaZulu have lost 9 of their last 14 away matches.
AmaZulu have conceded 2+ goals in 3 of their last 4 away matches.

Arrows Rarely Beat Usuthu at Home

AmaZulu hold a 16-14 advantage over Golden Arrows across 35 clashes with five draws.

AmaZulu won 1-0 at Arrows when the clubs last met in April 2025. Arrows have won just once in their last seven home matches against AmaZulu.

Golden Arrows Excelling at Home – Eight Wins in 11 on Home Turf

Arrows have won eight of their last 11 home matches. On the road, it’s no wins in 11 matches with six defeats.

A 4-3 defeat at Stellenbosch was followed by a 2-1 home win vs TS Galaxy in the Carling Knockout Cup. They smashed Marumo Gallants 4-0 in the PSL before losing 3-1 away at Orlando Pirates.

A 2-2 home draw vs Marumo Gallants in the Carling Knockout Cup preceded a loss on penalties. Their away woes continued with a 2-1 loss at TS Galaxy last time out.

Usuthu Struggle on the Road – Under a Point Per Away Game

AmaZulu have taken just six points from six away league fixtures. They’re totally reliant on their home league form with five victories in the last six on their travels.

Usuthu scored a late set-piece to beat Durban City 1-0 at home. A 3-0 win at Chippa United was surprisingly followed by a 1-0 home loss to Polokwane City to end a five-match home winning streak.

They quickly responded with a 2-0 home victory vs Siwelele despite being outshot 14-7. On Friday night, they were outplayed throughout in a 2-0 away setback at Richards Bay.

Predicted Lineups & Team News

Golden Arrows (4-2-3-1): Ngcobo; Phillips, Jiyane, Mantshiyane, Cele; Cisse, Dlamini; Ndlovu, Maxwele, Khumalo; Dion.

Coach Manqoba Mngqithi is set to recall Keanan Phillips at right back. Midfielder Lungelo Dube is an injury doubt.

Themba Mantshiyane is doubtful in defence for this one. Siyanda Ndlovu is the league’s top chance creator and will be looking to create goals for Sede Dion, who leads the PSL’s Golden Boot race.

AmaZulu: (3-5-2): Johnson; Allan, Mthethwa, Hanamub; Radebe, Hlangabeza, Bern, Ekstein, Ngcobo; Maqokola, Ngwenya.

Coach Arthur Zwane has left top scorer Thando Ngwenya on the bench for recent matches. Liam Bern is set to start in midfield, having had his move delayed over a court case.

Veteran midfielder Bongani Zungu is set to play no part. Keagan Allan will play in defence having missed out on the Bafana Bafana AFCON squad.

Verdict

Golden Arrows v AmaZulu

I'm backing an Arrows win with 2+ team goals scored by the hosts.
