Teams: AmaZulu v Golden Arrows
Date: 15 February 2020
Venue: Jonsson Kings Park Stadium
KwaZulu-Natal rivals AmaZulu and Golden Arrows will both be desperate to bounce back after embarrassing cup defeats when they lock horns in the Absa Premiership on Saturday evening.
Usuthu were knocked out of the Nedbank Cup last weekend after suffering a 4-1 hammering by Bloemfontein Celtic., while Arrows lost on penalties to Vaal University of Technology.
However, Jozef Vukusic's troops boosted their survival hopes with a 1-0 win over fellow rivals at the bottom Polokwane City to end a five-match winless run the process.
That victory gave AmaZulu a three-point cushion over bottom side Rise and Shine.
Arrows' last league outing, meanwhile, was a narrow 1-0 victory over SuperSport United a week before their cup upset, moving the side up to eighth spot.
The corresponding fixture ended in a 1-1 draw in September 2019 at Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium.
