Preview for match AmaZulu FC vs Polokwane City FC

As the Premier Soccer League reaches its penultimate matches of the season, the clash between AmaZulu FC and Polokwane City FC promises to be a riveting encounter. Scheduled for Friday, May 2, 2025, at 18:30, this matchup takes place at the iconic King Zwelithini Stadium in Durban. Currently, AmaZulu FC sits in 6th place on the league table with 33 points, while Polokwane City FC finds itself closely trailing in 7th place with 32 points. The stakes are high as both teams strive for a more secure position in the league standings and aim to build momentum as the season draws to a close.

AmaZulu FC has had a challenging season, securing 10 victories, 3 draws, and suffering 13 defeats, translating to a goal tally of 27 scored and 32 conceded. Their home record reflects a mixed bag of performances, with 6 wins, 1 draw, and 5 losses. The team, under the guidance of coach Arthur Zwane, will be keen to turn their fortunes around after a disappointing streak that has seen them register only one win in their last five matches.

Conversely, Polokwane City FC has enjoyed a relatively stable season, with 8 wins, 8 draws, and 9 defeats, accumulating a total of 32 points. Their away record, however, leaves much to be desired, with just 2 wins, 4 draws, and 6 losses.
