AmaZulu will be hoping to win their next match against Orlando Pirates in the DStv Premiership on Saturday evening at the Orlando Stadium, 20 April.
Kick-off is at 17h00 CAT.
Coach Pablo Franco Martin was disappointed with the officiating in the previous fixture against the Buccaneers in the Nedbank Cup quarter-final.
The former Getafe tactician, who was born in Spain, stated that his team finds it hard to accept the result of the match because they believed they were better.
“The preparation has been good so far. It has been a normal week, trying to recover from the huge shift we put in on Saturday,” Franco said.
“Also [we had to work on] the mental side because when you are playing such a good game, and when you feel you were better than the opponent in many phases of the game, we had other things preventing us from getting a win.”
“Of course, everyone is disappointed but the good thing is that we have another opportunity to play them again.”
Franco Martin believes that this time it will be more difficult than the last fixture because they’ll be playing away.
“But the good thing is that we have faced them twice this season. We got one point in the first league game though they had more time to rest and prepare for the game compared to us,” he said.
