AMAZULU will travel to the Mpumalanga Stadium in Hammarsdale on Saturday for a 3pm kick-off against Golden Arrows in what promises to be a season-defining KwaZulu-Natal derby.

Both teams will be eyeing a top-eight finish that eluded them last season.

Usuthu currently sit seventh on the league table with 33 points from 26 matches, but their recent run of form paints a concerning picture.

With four losses in their last five outings, their ability to finish the season on a strong note will be put to the test.

As they prepare to face their local rivals, this fixture carries more than just bragging rights. With only four points separating the two teams, the stakes are significantly high.

And in a campaign plagued by inconsistency, this derby becomes a potential turning point—or another potential stumbling block.

Usuthu coach Arthur Zwane believes his side has the perfect opportunity to get themselves out of the tricky situation they currently face.
