DStv Premiership
Teams: Marumo Gallants v AmaZulu
Date: 26 October 2022
Venue: Peter Mokaba Stadium
Time: 19h30
Folz is unbeaten since taking over at Usuthu and steered the club to their first MTN8 final after a goalless draw against Kaizer Chiefs in the semi-final second-leg saw them progress on away goals following a 1-1 draw on aggregate.
Usuthu have played two consecutive league draws under the French coach after a 1-1 draw against Maritzburg United and are lying ninth on the table with 13 points.
AmaZulu will be missing both Makhahlene Makhaula and Tercious Malepe due to suspension.
Over to Gallants, they have qualified for the CAF Confederation Cup group stage play-offs but they have not been able to transform that form into the league.
Dan Malesela's troops lost their second game in three matches after a narrow 1-0 loss to Mamelodi Sundowns a week ago.
Bahlabane Ba Ntwa have dropped down to the bottom of the table, as a result, with nine points and are two points from safety.
Usuthu took four points off Gallants last season, as they edged the reverse fixture 1-0 away after a goalless draw in the first round
