Another KwaZulu-Natal derby is set to takes centre stage on Saturday evening, with AmaZulu hosting Royal AM in the DStv Premiership.
DStv Premiership
Teams: AmaZulu v Royal AM
Date: 25 February 2023
Venue: Moses Mabhida Stadium
Time: 20h00
Usuthu may have handed coach Romain Folz a contract extension, but the team have only secured one league win in the last five matches.
The last encounter ended in a 2-1 defeat to TS Galaxy last weekend, leaving Folz's side in 11th position and one two points adrift of the top eight.
Royal AM, meanwhile, are also looking for some consistency as they followed up their win over Golden Arrows with a draw against SuperSport United seven days ago.
John Maduka's troops sit one point adrift of the top eight in ninth position, but they will need Cape Town City to drop points on Saturday evening.
Royal AM did claim the points when these two sides met at Chatsworth Stadium earlier this season thanks to goals from Motebang Sera and Mxolisi Macuphu.
Here's how they line up:
AmaZulu: 44. Mothwa, 5. Sikhakhane, 14. Hanamub, 17. Gumede, 23. Mphahlele, 12. Maluleka, 4. Malepe, 27. Ekstein, 35. Manziba, 33. Dion, 11. Mhango
Royal AM: 16. Nyame, 22. Rikhotso, 13. Manganyi, 17. Mogaila, 7. Pelembe, 24. Lingwati, 50. Masuku, 14. Matlaba, 6. Kobedi, 11. Potsane, 20. Gamildien.
Subs: 32. Ngcobo, 45. George, 2. Msomi, 3. Nascimento, 42. Ncobeni, 35. Stoffels, 40. P. Cele, 38. Mashiane, 77. H. Cele.
