AmaZulu vs Orlando Pirates will trade tackles against each other at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on Tuesday, 24 October 2023 in a Premier Soccer League game. Kick-off is at 19:30 South African Standard Time.
AmaZulu will come into this game following recent setbacks in the league. A goalless draw away at Polokwane was worsened by a 2-1 defeat to Moroka Swallows in the team's last PSL outing leaving Usuthu with just 10 points and in the bottom half of the standings.
Jose Riveiro's side meanwhile triumphed over Sundowns on penalties in the MTN8 just before the international break, with Sipho Chaine saving three spot kicks to inspire the Sea Robbers to the first silverware of the season.
Having been knocked out of the CAF Champions League by Jwaneng Galaxy, Pirates' MTN8 win could perhaps be a turning point as they look to climb into the top two places on the table.
