Amazulu FC vs Marumo Gallants FC: Prediction for the Match on August 20, 2025

Amazulu FC vs Marumo Gallants FC: Prediction and odds on the Match on 20 August 2025

Amazulu FC will square off against Marumo Gallants in what seems to be a tough game at the Princess Magogo Stadium on Wednesday. After their defeat against the former Betway Premiership champions a few days ago, Amazulu will strive to flip the script against their guests tomorrow. Meanwhile, the guests will also be keen to extend their unbeaten run to six in the Betway Premiership. 

Amazulu FC: form and statistics

Arthur Zwane’s men suffered their first defeat of the season against Mamelodi Sundowns on the road. After kicking off their campaign with a victory over ORBIT College, AmaZulu conceded twice against the former champions. The game started off with Mamelodi Sundowns dominating as expected, and a decent defensive shift at the break, both teams settled for a stalemate. The second half took another turn when Rayners opened the scoreboard in the 56th minute. The game was almost ending with just a goal in it, before Matthew scored the second for Mamelodi Sundowns.

Amazulu had a great season, wrapping up their campaign in sixth spot. They were one of the teams that got off to a flying start, but unfortunately, they couldn’t maintain their momentum. AmaZulu picked up thirty-five points from a combined eighty-four points, scoring twenty-nine and conceding thirty-four. 

Amazulu have lost just once across their previous nine home matches. 

Amazulu Lineup

Coach Arthur Zwane used to operate with the (4-2-3-1) formation regardless of who was facing. However, he has switched to a five-man defence, and I expect the same formation against Marumo Gallants. 

AmaZulu FC Potential Starting Lineup (5-4-1)

Johnson—Riaan Hanamub, Taariq Fielies, Sandile Mthethwa, Alan, Radebe—Hlanhabeza, Zungu, Hendrick Ekstein, Nwenya—Masuku 

Head coach: Arthur Zwane

Marumo Gallants FC: form and statistics

Bahlabane Ba Ntwa's side have been tipped to finish strong this campaign after their back-to-back win so far. They began the Betway Premiership campaign with a (1-2) victory despite having ten men on the pitch. Marumo Gallants went ahead to secure the maximum points against the second-best team in the competition, Orlando Pirates. Marumo Gallants marched into the game with the usual tactics of at least securing a point; however, Msendami overturned the early goal conceded just before the break. Despite not having the ball and defending for almost the entire game, Marumo Gallants scored a last-minute ditch to stun Orlando Pirates. It ended in a (2-1) victory for an underdog side like Marumo Gallants in their second game of the season. 

Marumo Gallants finished in the bottom half of the table, picking up thirty-two points from a combined eighty-six. Bahlabane Ba Ntwa have picked up two wins from their last two games, scoring four and conceding twice. 

Marumo Gallants Lineup

Bahlabane Ba Ntwa are an excellent team when they want to be, and they operate as a more balanced team. They can defend well and also punish their opponent on counters. 

Marumo Gallants Potential Starting Lineup (4-4-2)

Washington Arubi—Thabo Ncube, Sibusiso Anthony Sibiya, Lebogang Alfred Mathiane, Tholang Mabotja—Edgar Manaka—Thabang Nemtajela, Xola Nhlapo, Daniel Tawanda Msendami, Kamohelo Abel Mahlatsi—Sede Junior Dion

Out: Nhlapo (doubtful)

Head Coach: Alexandre Lafitte

Amazulu FC vs Marumo Gallants FC match prediction 20 August 2025

Marumo Gallants have shown some level of confidence in their last two games. The first game with ten men ended in a (1-2) away victory, while they stunned Orlando Pirates in their second game. These wins are not flukes; we think they might contest for a top-four finish this campaign after all.

AmaZulu FC, after their opening day victory, were faced with a far superior opponent, conceding twice against Mamelodi Sundowns.

The guests have been at the top of their game lately, and they’ll approach this match with confidence. AmaZulu on the other end will strive to avoid back-to-back losses. 

The most likely scenario here is for both teams to split points; however, Marumo Gallants might just be too strong for the hosts to handle. 

My match prediction is for BTTS with a coefficient of 2.20 on the Betway bookmaker website.

My betting tip on this game is for the guests to at least score before the break for a coefficient of 2.80 on the Bet365 bookmaker website.

My final betting tip on this match is for Marumo Gallants to win or draw and score more than a goal, for a coefficient of 2.75 on the 1xbet bookmaker website. 

Good luck!
