Amazulu Target Double Glory: Sundowns Upset And Kzn Supremacy

AmaZulu may be eyeing a spot in the CAF Confederation Cup, but their next match against Mamelodi Sundowns could see them aim for more than just continental aspirations they want to outshine their neighbours, Golden Arrows, and make a statement in KwaZulu-Natal.

The stage is set for an epic clash at Lucas Moripe Stadium on Tuesday at 7.30pm, where Usuthu will face off against the league-leading Brazilians. This match comes just six days after Sundowns were held to a 1-1 draw by Golden Arrows in Durban, a result that raised some eyebrows.

For AmaZulu, its a chance to capitalise on any weakness Sundowns might have shown and deliver a knockout blow. A win against the mighty Brazilians would not only boost their standing in the league but also elevate their status as KZN's premier club, surpassing their local rivals in the process this season.

AmaZulus form has been solid lately. They extended their unbeaten run to three matches in all competitions with a hard-fought 0-0 draw against SuperSport United last week. Before that, they had secured back-to-back victories.

Sitting in sixth place, a single point behind third-placed Stellenbosch, Usuthu know that a victory against Sundowns could push them into the top three, depending on other results.
