Magesi vs Amazulu: Prediction and odds on the Match on 30 August 2025

In the Betway Premiership, Magesi will play Amazulu at Seshego Stadium. The two teams are coming off a league encounter which they could not win and eye an improved performance here. Ahead of this game, Magesi have struggled in recent meetings of this fixture and will hope to turn the tables. How will this game unfold? In the next sections, we will look at team to team previews while considering different betting possibilities. 

Magesi: Form and Statistics

Magesi failed to impress again in their last outing against Golden Arrows and will hope they can turn the tables. In that game, this team took the lead just ten minutes into the game but could only last for one minute as Junior Dion responded with a brilliant strike for Golden Arrows. However, while Magesi could have taken a point at full time, a last minute Nqobeko Dlamini strike was enough to hand Magesi back to back defeats. Ahead of this game, Magesi have failed to win their first four games of the season where they picked up two points. Also, Magesi have gone winless in eight straight matches where they drew five encounters.  

Magesi Team News and Lineup

Mcedi Vandala has been the best option Magesi has in the midfield. The attacking option has scored a goal and assisted one this season. Meanwhile, the home team will stick with Thabang Sibanyoni who provided an assist last time out in the number nine role. 

Magesi Predicted Lineup

Chipeze—Tshepo Makgoga, Mzwandile Buthelezi, Lehlegonolo Mokone, Delano Abrahams—Thalong Masegala, Zungu—Makhubu, Vandala, Kgomotso Mosadi—Sibanyoni

Heading into this matchup, Amazulu are seated 6th in the league standings with seven points, three goals scored and three conceded.

Magesi vs Amazulu Match Prediction 30 August 2025

Magesi are having a rough start to the season but at home against a side like AmaZulu, the hosts will hope to get things right here. Looking at the way they have started their season, Magesi have shown resilience but also struggled to maintain a strong defensive display against sides that show a lot of attacking intensity. Meanwhile, AmaZulu will have to deal with their struggling defense in this game having conceded three times in four games with their front line expected to be also improved. Yet, looking at the way the two teams play, the needs of these sides and their competitiveness, I feel we will witness a different pattern of outcome compared to the common results of this game. AmaZulu have been solid to a good level this season, and while Magesi will look to pick their first win of the season, they will be cautious not to concede. Therefore, I believe there will be more defensive play which should lead to fewer goals but AmaZulu should be able to win. 

Our match prediction is a draw no bet for AmaZulu with odds at 1.90 on Bet365 bookmaker.

Our betting tip is under 1.5 goals with odds at 2.20 on Betway bookmaker. 

Our final match prediction is halftime draw with odds at 1.77 on 1Xbet bookmaker.
