AmaZulu vs Magesi Predictions - Usuthu to win fourth straight home match

AmaZulu look set to continue their strong home form, having won their last three matches at home by one-goal margins. Magesi, conversely, have struggled on the road, losing four of their last five away fixtures and often failing to find the net. With both sides facing key absences in midfield and attack, AmaZulu’s in-form striker Ngwenya is tipped to make the difference. As such, the best prediction for this matchup is a narrow 1-0 victory for AmaZulu, in line with current trends and previous head-to-heads.

AmaZulu Form & Team News


AmaZulu have dropped points in successive league matches. With 11 points from eight league matches, they sit mid-table after losing nine points from winning positions this season.

After a 2-1 home win over Stellenbosch, they lost 3-1 at TS Galaxy with ten men. In midweek, they allowed 2.02 xG in 1-1 draw at Kaizer Chiefs as they were outshot 23-3.

Young striker Thandolwenkosi Ngwenya has scored four goals in his last five matches. Three central midfielders are absent here, leaving the side short of cover. 

Experienced midfielders Bongani Zungu and Ben Motshwari are injured. Siyanda Hlangabeza is suspended in the engine room after his red card against TS Galaxy.

AmaZulu Predicted Lineup


Johnson; Allan, Mthethwa, Fielies; Radebe, Sithole, Ekstein, Mbanjwa, Hanamub; Kutumela, Ngwenya.
