AmaZulu coach Brandon Truter has explained why the Richards Bay clash on Wednesday evening in the DStv Premiership will be a tough one.
He pinpointed two reasons that make the match to be difficult, but he is aiming to overcome the difficulties and get maximum points.
Firstly, it’s the KZN Derby bragging rights are at stake. No team wants to lose a local derby.
Secondly, AmaZulu is short of players due to injuries and suspensions.
Thirdly, they got some familiar faces they once worked with at the club.
Truter however, insists they are going all out for three points.
KZN DERBY
“It’s a massive game for us, it’s a derby as well. We want to win it. We’ll make a plan, that’s what we aiming to do. It’s not going to be an easy game against Richards Bay,” Truter told the media.
FAMILIAR FACES
“They have [Luvuyo] Memela and some technical staff from AmaZulu that’s coming on Wednesday, so it’s not going to be an easy game.
SUSPENSIONS AND INJURIES
“It’s going to be a, hectic season for us, eigtht games, three weeks. We lost [Veluyeke] Zulu and [Gabadinho] Mhango.
“We got a good enough coach, we will manage the process and see what’s available. Its too early to tell because of muscle stiffness and fatigue we’ll see on Tuesday who is available for that game,” he added.
Both teams will be aiming to get back to winning ways. Usuthu lost 1-0 in the last minute to Mamelodi Sundowns last time out. On the other hand, Richards bt were held nil all draw by TS Galaxy.
Kickoff at Moses Mabhida Stadium is at 5pm.
