TS Galaxy vs AmaZulu Tips - Honours even between the Rockets and Usuthu

AmaZulu leads TS galaxy by two victories to one, with one draw in four meetings in the DStv Premiership.

TS Galaxy lost 1-0 to AmaZulu at home last season.

Due to the rugby match between South Africa and New Zealand at Mbombela Stadium, this fixture will take place at the Bidvest Stadium in Johannesburg. 

TS Galaxy managed to pull off a decent set of results to avoid being relegated at the end of last season and will be hoping to avoid a similar scenario for this campaign.

Their last five results in the PSL are D, W, L, D, and W, netting three goals and conceding three.

The Rockets' finished 13th in the DStv Premiership last season with 30 points from 30 games. They scored 22 goals and conceded 38.

Their last five home results in the league are D, L, D, W, and D, scoring four goals and letting in six.

TS Galaxy had decent form towards the end of the season, but they tend to struggle to win at home regularly. Can they start their season with a victory? 

Coach Sead Ramovic has signed an extension to his contract, keeping him at the club until 2025.

Players In: Xola Mlambo (AmaZulu), Sibusiso Vilakazi (Mamelodi Sundowns)

Players out: Ethan Brooks (AmaZulu), Augustine Kwem (AmaZulu), Sinethemba Mngomezulu (Stellenbosch FC), Wayde Lekay (released), Carlos Filipetto (released)

AmaZulu did just enough to secure a top-eight finish to their 2021/22 season, but after a promising first half of their campaign, it would have been a disappointment.

Their last five PSL results are D, W, D, D, and L, registering two goals and conceding two.

Usuthu placed 7th on the DStv Premiership table with 41 points from 30 matches. They scored 24 goals and let in 22 at the back.

Their last five away results across all competitions are D, W, D, W, and D, netting three goals and conceding one.

Some key players are no longer with AmaZulu, which could impact their season opener as new signings adjust to the setup. While they will push for victory, coming away with a draw will be an acceptable result.  

Despite AmaZulu releasing a few of their star players, coach Brandon Truter has stated that his new signings will bring home silverware for Usuthu this season.
