These things appear to be trending in different directions. Usuthu are improving and face a goal-shy Arrows. I’m backing a home win with Under 1.5 goals.

AmaZulu Form & Team News

Usuthu have turned their season around in recent weeks. After six straight losses going back to last term, they have won four of their last six to jump to 11th in the PSL table.

A 2-0 home win over Chippa United was followed by a 3-1 victory at Richards Bay. After a 1-0 loss at TS Galaxy, they beat Royal AM 2-1 at home in the derby.

A last-minute loss at ten-man Mamelodi Sundowns came next. Their last match saw a resolute 1-0 win at Cape Town City despite being outshot 15-9.

Centre forward Sede Dion is an injury doubt. Hendrick Ekstein is the key man with four goals so far this season.

Two new signings are pushing for debuts. Defensive midfielder Bongani Zungu and defender Sandile Mthethwa could make their first appearances.

AmaZulu Predicted Lineup

Ofori; Jooste, Mphahlele, Fielies, Hanamub; Human, Motshwari; Mbanjwa, Ekstein, Moremi; Ighodaro.

Golden Arrows Form & Team News

Arrows have only scored in two of their last nine fixtures. They’ve collected just eight points from their last eight matches.

A 0-0 home draw vs SuperSport United ended a four-match losing streak. A 3-2 win at Royal AM and a 3-2 home success over Cape Town City followed.

A 1-0 home loss to Richards Bay saw Arrows allow 14 shots. Their last match saw Arrows grind out a 0-0 home stalemate against Polokwane City.

Arrows remain without strikers Knox Mutizwa and Lungelo Nguse. Kagiso Malinga is available in attack after recovering from injury.

Captain Thabani Zuke is out of favour and could depart in the transfer window.

Golden Arrows Predicted Lineup

Maova; Phillips, Shitolo, Mantshiyane, Cele; Ndwandwe, Dube; Mthanti, Sibiya, Van Rooi; Moon.

Verdict

AmaZulu v Golden Arrows

I'm backing Under 1.5 goals in the match with AmaZulu taking the three points.
