Match Preview
AmaZulu will host Orlando Pirates at the King Goodwill Zwelithini Stadium on Saturday, 20 September, in what promises to be a competitive encounter. Both teams have had mixed fortunes in their recent outings, with AmaZulu recording two wins, two draws, and a loss in their last five matches. In contrast, Orlando Pirates have struggled, managing just one draw and four losses in the same timeframe. This disparity in form could provide AmaZulu with a psychological edge as they look to assert themselves at home. Historically, matches between these two sides have been tightly contested, with five of the last ten encounters ending in draws. Additionally, both teams have shown a propensity to score, with six of those ten meetings featuring both teams finding the back of the net. Given the current form of the Pirates, who have struggled to maintain defensive solidity, AmaZulu may exploit this weakness. Expect a closely fought match, but with the home advantage, AmaZulu could be poised to secure a vital three points.
