AmaZulu have lost just once in 15 matches in all competitions. They have drawn 10 of those matches.

After by beating Cape Town City 2-0, they came back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 at Stellenbosch. A 1-1 draws at Kaizer Chiefs and Maritzburg United followed having trailed 1-0 and led 1-0 respectively.

A 0-0 draw at Royal AM was their most recent result. They had just three shots on target and 0.7 xG.

AmaZulu Injuries & Team News


Central defender Samkelo Mgwazela returns from suspension. Left back Philani Zulu is injured and Xola Mlambo is doubtful in midfield.

Andre De Jong could drop to the bench. Bongi Ntuli is pushing to start up front.

Pirates have been beaten just once in their last 11 matches acrss all competitions. They have kept four clean sheets in a row and seven in that run.

A 0-0 stalemate at Golden Arrows was followed by a fine 3-0 win at Stellenbosch. Pirates then went to Liberia and beat LPRC Oilers 2-0 in the CAF Confederations Cup.

Their last match saw a 0-0 home draw against Baroka. Pirates managed just three three shots on target and 0.87 xG.

Orlando Pirates Injuries & Team News


Pirates are without injured defender Happy Jele and goalkeeper Richard Ofori.

Left footed winger Vincent Pule is close to a return but this comes too soon for Thembinkosi Lorch. Tshegofatso Mabasa is expected to be recalled up front.

Verdict

Both sides are solid at the back so I'm backing a low scoring draw.
