AmaZulu and Mamelodi Sundowns have confirmed their starting line-ups for the DStv Premiership encounter at King Zwelithini Stadium this evening.
Usuthu missed an opportunity to reach a cup final on the weekend after suffering a 3-2 defeat at the hands of TS Galaxy at Moses Mabhida Stadium.
The KwaZulu-Natal based side is languishing between the top eight and the relegation zone in the DStv Premiership, as they hope to finish the season in a much better place than last season.
Pablo Franco Martin’s side didn’t start the season as they would have wanted, claiming three wins, six draws and three losses. They are the team with the highest number of draws alongside Chippa United.
Masandawana will be playing their third match in a space of eight days. The Tshwane giants have the tightest fixture schedule in the country but they are familiar with it as it has been the case for the past seven seasons.
Downs comes into this match after a defeat in DRC in the CAF Champions League against TP Mazembe. They will look to bounce back and maintain their 100% start in the DStv Premiership.
These two sides faced each other 36 times. Usuthu won six, Sundowns won 22, while eight matches ended with draws.
AmaZulu XI: Mzimela, Jooste, Fielies, Gumede, Mobara, Hanamub, Sikhakhane, Brooks, Ekstein, Moremi, Dion.
