AmaZulu head coach Arthur Zwane insists his side enters Saturday’s Durban Derby against Golden Arrows as the underdogs, despite heading into the clash on a scorching four-match winning streak.
The cross-town rivals lock horns in a Betway Premiership showdown at the Princess Magogo Stadium, with kickoff set for 18:00.

While Usuthu have momentum on their side and Abafana Bes’thende search for an upturn in form after a four-game winless run, Zwane has surprisingly shifted the pressure by labeling Arrows as the favorites for the encounter.
“Even tomorrow we are playing against Arrows, we are underdogs…yes we are underdogs,” said Zwane.
Zwane revealed that their ultimate strength stems from consistent prayer and a powerful bond shared between the technical team and the players.
“We connect so much, not only as players and technical team, but as supporters as well,” he added.
“Wherever we go, like last week, we went to Mbombela Stadium to play against Kruger United [in the Carling Knockout Round of 16]; the heart was too much. Players couldn’t take it at some point.
“But because our supporters were there cheering with us, giving us the extra boost we needed, we came out victors simply because of their support. That alone tells you how far we have come as a club.
“You hardly find a president giving you a call; we are enjoying ourselves. But one thing that is helping us right now: we are praying a lot, as I said. That has been so powerful that we feel untouchable.
“We want to take this club to another level. Hopefully God will grant us that opportunity.”
