EXPECT A TRUE CONTEST
AmaZulu currently occupy fifth place with 30 points after a strong resurgence in early 2026. Usuthu have surged up the standings by winning five of their last seven matches, putting themselves firmly in the race for a top-three finish and a return to continental football. Sundowns opened the title race after last week’s narrow 2-1 win over the log-leading Orlando Pirates.
While this is the first battle of the season against each other, last season was a clean sweep for Sundowns with two 2-0 victories home and away.
