Absa Premiership

 

Teams: AmaZulu v Free State Stars

 

Date: 5 April 2014

 

Venue: Moses Mabhida Stadium

 

AmaZulu will hope to get back to winning ways when they host Free State Stars in a Absa Premiership encounter at the Moses Mabhida Stadium.

 

Usuthu come into this fixture on the back of a 0-0 draw with Bloemfontein Celtic in their last league outing.

 

Craig Rosslee's men are seventh on the Absa Premiership log table with 35 points from 25 games.

 

AmaZulu have claimed 15 points from their 12 home matches in the campaign so far.

 

On the other hand, Free State Stars are winless in their last two games, having lost 2-1 to Mamelodi Sundowns, before drawing 1-1 with Polokwane City in their last league clash.

 

El Lla Koto are 14th in the league standings with 21 points from 23 matches, one point above the relegation zone.

 

While Stars have only picked up eight points on their travels this season.

 

Nothing could separate the two sides earlier in the season, as Carlington Nadombo's own goal cancelled Ayanda Dlamini's fifth minute strike, as the pair played out to a 1-1 draw.

 

In head-to-head statistics, Free State Stars have 19 wins compared to AmaZulu's 14, while 11 matches have been drawn.
