The match against Kaizer Chiefs could be what AmaZulu coach Brandon Truter needs to get the team back on track with results after the international break.
Last season, Usuthu did well to finish eighth on DStv Premiership log despite having had a disappointing start to the campaign and Truter spearheaded the team's turnaround.

The improved results earned the Cape Town-born mentor a permanent deal as the head coach of the side after he had joined on caretaker basis in March.
While the team has been inconsistent in getting the desired results so far this season, with some reports suggest that the coach might be on borrowed time, but indications from the Durban-based club's camp are that the management are not pressing any panic buttons as yet and are confident that the team will get the results in the coming matches.
Some reports had suggested that Fadlu Davids had been targeted to join AmaZulu as the new coach, before the former Orlando Pirates co-coach was unveiled at Lokomotiv Moscow in Russia this week.

Insiders at Usuthu have revealed that the management is backing Truter to get things right with the team, with the mentor and his technical team targeting this weekend's MTN8 semi-final match against Chiefs to turn things around.
