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 have won last 3 home matches, all by one-goal margins.
- Magesi have lost 4 of last 5 away games, often failing to score.
- Predicted result: AmaZulu to win 1-0, continuing strong home form.
