AmaZulu vs Golden Arrows Predictions

This match is set to be very tight and extra time could be required. I’m backing this match to have very few 90 minutes with a 0-0 stalemate quite likely.

AmaZulu Form & Team News

Usuthu have kept seven clean sheets in 11 matches this season in all competitions. Their opening seven league matches saw just one defeat (DDDLWWD).

AmaZulu lost 2-1 at Moroka Swallows with ten men before beating Kaizer Chiefs 1-0 away to reach the quarters of the Carling Knockout Cup. A solid and determined 0-0 home draw with Orlando Pirates followed in the DSTV Premiership.

Their last match saw a 1-1 draw at Chippa United in the league. Their opponents ended the match with nine men and AmaZulu threw away a 1-0 lead when their opponents had ten men.

Striker Bongi Ntuli is doubtful and both Taariq Fielies and Rama Mphahlele are doubtful in defence. Abbubaker Mobara should return.

Midfielder Tercious Malepe is back from injury. Victor Letsoalo has also returned from a knock up front.

AmaZulu Predicted Lineup

Mothwa: Sikhakhane, Gumede, Mobara, Mphahlele, Hanamub; Brooks, Motshwari, Ngema; Moremi, Dion.

Golden Arrows Form & Team News

Arrows are having a sensational season and sit second in the league table. They’ve won six of their last seven matches in the league and cup.

A ruthless 3-0 win away at SuperSport United came before a 0-0 home draw with Stellenbosch FC. Wins followed, 2-1 at Cape Town Spurs, 1-0 at Sekhukhune United and 3-1 at home against Cape Town City (Carling KO Cup).

Their last match saw a fourth win on the bounce. They beat Kaizer Chiefs 2-1 at home in the DSTV Premiership as Knox Mutizwa netted a brace.

Coach Mabhuti Khenyeza has captain Thabani Zuke back in training after a long-term knee injury. Themba Mantshiyane should return at centre back after injury.

Knox Mutizwa is set to lead the line. Ryan Moon and Lungelo Nguse will have to settle for spots on the bench.

Golden Arrows Predicted Lineup

Watenga; Theron, Shitolo, Mantshiyane, Cross; Ndwandwe, Dube; Tlolane, Sibiya, Van Rooi; Mutizwa.
