Usuthu’s next assignment in the Betway Premiership will be against fellow KZN outfit Richards Bay FC at the King Zwelithini Stadium in the Betway Premiership on Saturday afternoon.
Kick-off is at 15h30 CAT.
This KZN derby’s stakes are high as both sides find themselves in a less than desirable position at the bottom half of the Betway Premiership table.
AmaZulu will be looking to build on their progress following the arrival of the new co-head coaches Arthur Zwane and Vusimuzi Vilakazi.
The team finally picked up their first win of the season against Chippa United and this next clash will also be an opportunity for the club to pick up three points.
“I know a lot of people will always say we’re fighting relegation, how can you fight relegation when you still have 25 games left? There’s still a lot to play for,” coach Zwane says.
“You start fighting relegation when you’re left with five games, according to my understanding, it also depends on how other teams are doing and the gap between you and other teams, then you can start talking about relegation.”
“Right now, we are not even thinking about relegation. We are thinking about improving the team and challenging ourselves because we are in this league to compete,” he added.
“Probably, the break we are going to have is more of a blessing in disguise, but we would have liked to carry on with the momentum, it’s a chance to fix things we lack.”
