The last two meetings between Durban City and AmaZulu both ended 0-1, and the hosts have yet to find the net against their opponents in those two most recent encounters. This time the picture looks rather different, because AmaZulu are on a three-match winning run in the league, while Durban City have managed only a draw at home of late. Durban City have played seven league matches and won just once, with most of the rest ending in draws. Their attack is still laboured and they score fewer than they should, though the defence has not been especially leaky. AmaZulu are clearly the better side, winning five of seven, scoring more and conceding no more than the hosts, even if there was one heavy defeat along the way. This should be a game where the hosts try to control the ball and gradually open things up, while AmaZulu are comfortable waiting for their moment and breaking at speed. If Durban City score first, the game will turn into the hosts sitting back and letting AmaZulu push forward, which is the situation the visitors relish most.
