Usuthu registered their 10th draw of the DStv Premiership campaign after playing to a 1-1 draw with Orlando Pirates at Orlando Stadium on Wednesday.
Benni McCarthy's charges last secured victory at the start of November against Cape Town City in KwaZulu-Natal, but the next five clashes have all ended in draws.
Chippa, meanwhile, will also be pushing for a return to winning ways after they went down 3-1 to TS Galaxy on Tuesday afternoon.
The defeat left the Chilli Boys in 15th spot, while AmaZulu can cement their spot in the top eight with a victory this afternoon.
Chippa will be without the services of striker Jemondre Dickens who suffered a horrible knee injury in the defeat to the Rockets.
