Welcome to our live, minute-by-minute coverage of the Betway Premiership clash between AmaZulu FC and Mamelodi Sundowns.

The reigning league champions head into this encounter looking to bounce back after their Nedbank Cup exit at the weekend, which ended their hopes of lifting a third domestic trophy this season.

With only the league and CAF Champions League left to compete for, Sundowns will be eager to return to winning ways and keep their title charge firmly on course.

Coach Miguel Cardoso is expected to rotate his squad again following a demanding run of fixtures, though his side will still be confident of imposing themselves against an AmaZulu team that has been difficult to break down this campaign.

Usuthu come into the match sitting inside the top five and will view this as a major opportunity to test themselves against the league’s benchmark side.

AmaZulu will be banking on home advantage at Moses Mabhida Stadium, where their compact defensive shape and quick counter-attacks have troubled several top teams this season.

Sundowns, meanwhile, will rely on their control in midfield and sharp movement in the final third as they look to respond positively after their cup disappointment.
