AmaZulu vs Sekhukhune: match facts and head-to-head
AmaZulu have been delivering quite solid results this season and currently sit high up the table. The side occupies third place after 22 matches, having collected 37 points. The gap to fourth place is just one point, but Kaizer Chiefs have two games in hand. Therefore, nothing is decided yet for AmaZulu, and it remains uncertain whether they will secure a CAF Confederation Cup spot, although the chances are there. This is also supported by the fact that the team has won its last two matches.
Sekhukhune sit lower in the standings than AmaZulu, but their situation is also far from settled, and the battle for a top-three finish is still alive for them as well. They have 34 points after 22 matches and are in sixth place. The gap to AmaZulu is three points, so it is not yet critical. However, the team is currently not in the best form. Sekhukhune are on a five-match winless run: three defeats and two draws. They need to turn things around if they want to finish in the top three.
Probable line-ups
- AmaZulu: Mzimela, Mthethwa, Hanamub, Fielies, Allan, Radebe, Hlangabeza, Maqokola, Ekstein, Zikhali, Kutumela
- Sekhukhune: Leaner, Mashiloane, Letlapa, Langa, Cardoso, Yamba, Khiba, Mkhize, Makgalwa, Mojela, Grobler
Prediction
AmaZulu and Sekhukhune are both battling for a top-three finish in the league, so they will clearly be pushing for victory. Especially Sekhukhune, who are not in the best form. I suggest a bet on over 1.5 total goals in the match.
