On the 31st of December, Sekhukhune United will play host to AmaZulu in a Premier League match.

Sekhukhune United is fresh off their 1-1 draw against TS Galaxy. Xola Mlambo struck first for TS Galaxy in the 27th minute, then Sepana Letsoalo tied it up for Sekhukhune United in the 36th minute earning Sekhukhune United a comeback draw. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 7 points in their last 10 matches, while amaZulu is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Stellenbosch. Larry Bwalya scored the first goal for AmaZulu in the 31st minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Stellenbosch couldn’t muster any offence and AmaZulu ran away with the shutout win. AmaZulu looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Sekhukhune United won the head to head battle with 1 win.
AmaZulu is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Sphesihle Maduna and Hellings Mhango each only have 1 goal in their last five. Tshegofatso Mabaso and Mncube are the top scorers for Sekhukhune United in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
