Premiership Strugglers Amazulu And Bay Set To Ignite Kzn Derby

The football scene in KwaZulu-Natal is set to heat up once again as AmaZulu FC and Richards Bay FC face off in a highly anticipated KZN derby this Saturday at 330 pm at the King Zwelithini Stadium in Umlazi. This match is crucial for both teams, with pride and points on the line.

AmaZulu will be looking to continue their strong form in the region, while Richards Bay, known as the Natal Rich Boyz, are desperate for a turnaround. The club has been struggling in the early stages of the 2024/2025 season, and the pressure on the team reached a breaking point after their disappointing loss to a 10-man Kaizer Chiefs. This defeat marked their sixth loss across all competitions this season, leading to the decision to part ways with head coach Brandon Truter just a day before the derby.

With Richards Bay now in search of a new direction, the spotlight is firmly on them as they prepare to face their local rivals in this high-stakes encounter. The outcome of this match could have significant implications for both teams seasons.
