Our tips
AmaZulu FC performance check
Under the stewardship of coach Vusumuzi Patrick Vilakazi, AmaZulu FC has shown flashes of potential, although consistency has been a significant issue. The team's recent performances have highlighted this inconsistency, with 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 defeats in their last five matches across all competitions. The squad's defensive frailties have been evident, as shown in their last outing where they suffered a heavy 5-0 defeat at the hands of Stellenbosch FC. This shocking loss will surely be on the players' minds as they prepare to face Marumo Gallants. However, their two victories in the last five matches indicate that they can be a formidable force at home, where they will look to capitalize on Gallants' away struggles.
