While Sundowns are the dominant force in the league, sitting atop the table with 55 points, AmaZulu come into this match as the underdogs. Despite their inconsistent season, they’ve found stability in recent weeks, picking up 10 points from their last five games. Arthur Zwane will be hoping for a breakthrough win as he continues to build a competitive team after the departure of Vusumuzi Vilakazi.
Will AmaZulu pull off a surprise against the league leaders, or will Sundowns continue their relentless march towards the title?
