SuperSport United vs AmaZulu

Wednesday ,5 March 2025
Kick-off is at 19h30 CAT
SuperSport United will go in search of a rebound win when they welcome an in-form AmaZulu to the Lucas Moripe Stadium for a Betway Premiership clash on Wednesday evening.
SuperSport suffered a ninth loss in their league campaign when they were beaten 1-0 by strugglers Magesi FC on Saturday – a setback in their hopes of claiming a top-eight finish come the end of the season.
Matsatsantsa, who have managed just one win from their last eight completed league games, need to take a three-point haul this midweek to try and rise from their current 12th place on the log (just three points above the relegation playoff zone).
AmaZulu, meanwhile, defeated Cape Town City 2-0 on Sunday to claim a second successive league win, as well as three victories from their last four league outings.
After a slow start to the campaign, AmaZulu have come right under coach Arthur Zwane (who had Vusumuzi Vilakazi as a co-coach for several months, before the latter’s recent departure) and find themselves in fifth place on the log. Pushing on to secure a top-eight finish in the remaining third of the season will be the Durban side’s ambition.
Reflecting on the rest of the 24/25 campaign, SuperSport coach Gavin Hunt reiterated the need to remain focused at all times.
“I always say it is not all about winning in the end, it is about winning next week. If you can win the next game, that’s the most important game, try to win it. But we don’t look at what happened, we have to look at the future and try to get young players in,” Hunt said.
AmaZulu coach Arthur Zwane expressed that Usuthu are firmly focused on getting results in their next few games.
“We worked on their [the players’] minds to say, ‘forget about the past.’ Right now, we’re not even thinking about the [29] points that we have accumulated, we are thinking about the next three points that can make a difference for us,” Zwane said.
