AmaZulu will be desperate to halt their losing streak in the DStv Premiership when they host KwaZulu-Natal rivals Richards Bay on Wednesday evening.
DStv Premiership
Teams: AmaZulu v Richards Bay
Date: 05 October 2022
Venue: Moses Mabhida Stadium
Time: 17h00
Usuthu will switch their focus back to the league after they held Kaizer Chiefs to a 1-1 draw in the MTN8 semi-final first-leg on Sunday.
Brandon Truter's charges are struggling for form in the league as their 1-0 defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns before the FIFA break was their third loss in four matches.
AmaZulu have dropped down to eighth on the log with 11 points, although they are just three points behind second-placed Bay.
Usuthu will be without Veluyeke Zulu and Gabadinho Mhango due to suspension after they both got red cards against Chiefs.
The Natal Rich Boyz, in contrast, rediscovered their early season form, although their goalless draw against TS Galaxy before the recess halted a run of two consecutive victories.
Richards Bay are five points behind leaders Mamelodi Sundowns and will have a chance to reduce the deficit to two points.
Here's how they line up:
AmaZulu: 44. Mothwa, 5. Sikhakhane, 42. Mabiliso, 17. Gumede, 23. Mphahlele, 2. Mobara, 4. Malepe, 12. Maluleka, 18. Brooks, 9. Kwem, 20. Majoro.
Subs: 38. Amonome, 22. Khumalo, 39. Mgwazela, 36. Kunene, 50. Bwalya, 15. Zuma, 13. Mukumela, 10. Maduna, 3. Ndlovu.
Richards Bay: 80. Magoola, 34. Nyauza, 6. Mabaso, 35. Mabua. 25. Mcineka, 12. Mathebula, 10. Memela, 2. Maphathe, 45. Ntsundwana, 30. Barns, 7. Msani.
Subs: 16. Jacobs, 5. Mthethwa, 27. Makateng, 50. Zungu, 20. Mthembu, 14. Majabidou, 8, Mdabuka, 9. Mbuthuma, 15. Hlongwa.
