On Dec 4th, AmaZulu plays host to Royal AM in a Premier League match in the anticipated Durban derby. In their last match, 8th placed AmaZulu, recorded a 1-1 draw against Maritzburg United. Amigo Memela struck first for AmaZulu in the 11th minute on a feed from Andre De Jong, then Amadou Soukouna got the equalizer for Maritzburg United in the 86th minute on a feed from Daylon Claasen earning Maritzburg United a comeback draw. AmaZulu is looking for direction having 3 win and 1 losses in their last 10 matches, while 3rd placed Royal AM is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Stellenbosch. Tebogo Potsane scored the first goal for Royal AM in the 59th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Stellenbosch was frustrated by Royal AM’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Royal AM ended the match with the shutout victory. With 21 points in their last 10 matches Royal AM should be reasonably happy with their performance.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out.
Levy Mashiane has been the most prolific scorer on Royal AM in the last 5 matches with two goals. Augustine Mulenga has been the most prolific scorer on AmaZulu in the last five matches with two goals.
