Oct 26th features a match where Tshakhuma plays host to AmaZulu in a meeting of these two Premier League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a windy and warm day with daytime temperatures of 26 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. Tshakhuma sits at 16th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 0-1 loss against Mamelodi Sundowns. Mkhulise scored the first goal for Mamelodi Sundowns in the 28th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Tshakhuma was frustrated by Mamelodi Sundowns’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Mamelodi Sundowns ended the match with the shutout victory. Tshakhuma looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 9th placed AmaZulu, recorded a 1-1 draw against Maritzburg United. Hellings Mhango struck first for AmaZulu in the 39th minute, then Samy tied it up for Maritzburg United in the 77th minute earning Maritzburg United at least a draw. AmaZulu is looking for direction having earned 12 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season. Last season AmaZulu won the head to head battle with 1 win.
AmaZulu is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Veluyeke Zulu and Sphesihle Maduna each only have 1 goal in their last five. Sibusiso Kumalo and Mahlatse Makudubela are the top scorers for Tshakhuma in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
