Magesi vs AmaZulu Predictions - Magesi to beat poor travellers Usuthu

Magesi are favored to win against AmaZulu due to their stronger performances this season. Historically, AmaZulu hold a 3-1 advantage in head-to-head clashes. Magesi have shown resilience, ending last season strong and starting this one with a mixed bag of results. Key players, Makhubu and Sibanyoni, will lead Magesi’s attack. AmaZulu, despite a positive league start, seek to overcome challenges like an injury-hit squad, including a suspended player. Predictions indicate a tough match with a possible 1-0 victory for Magesi.

A 2-0 home loss to Mamelodi Sundowns saw 11 shots. In midweek, a 92nd-minute goal against robbed Magesi of a result that their performance warranted. 

Magesi coach John Maduka has been using Wonderboy Makhubu and Thabang Sibanyoni in a front two.
