AmaZulu Form & Team News

AmaZulu sit eighth in the PSL table. They have won seven of their last 14 league matches.

A shock 5-0 loss at home to Stellenbosch was followed by a 5-1 home Cup win vs Might Eagles. A fortunate 2-1 home win vs SuperSport United and a 2-2 draw at Kaizer Chiefs came next.

Two clashes vs Marumo Gallants came next, a 2-0 home league win and a 1-0 away loss in the Nedbank Cup. In midweek, they leaked two late goals to lose 4-2 away at Sekhukhune United.

Experienced midfielder Bongani Zungu is set to return to the XI. Newly signed right back Nkosikhona Radebe is pushing for a first start.

Coach Arthur Zwane has a touch choice up front. Both Elmo Kambindu and Etiosa Ighodaro scored in the last match.

AmaZulu Predicted Lineup

Ofori; Jooste, Mphahlele, Fielies, Hanamub; Zungu, Motshwari; Human, Ekstein, Moremi; Kambindu.

Magesi Form & Team News

Magesi have won successive league matches, ending an 11-match winless streak in the PSL. They moved just one point from safety after those two victories.

A 2-0 loss to SuperSport United in the Nedbank Cup was followed by a 0-0 PSL draw at Richards Bay. After a 4-1 home thrashing by Chippa United, they have won their last two matches.

A 2-0 win over Cape Town City saw no shots on target allowed. On Tuesday, a 20th-minute goal was enough to eke out a 1-0 win away at Polokwane City.

Key defender Lehlohonolo Mokone shook off a knock to start the last match. Left winger Edmore Chirambadare remains absent.

Striker Wonderboy Makhhubu is an injury doubt. Thabang Sibanyoni will lead the line again after scoring the winner in midweek.
