KwaZulu-Natal rivals Maritzburg United and AmaZulu are set to do battle in the DStv Premiership on Friday evening at the Harry Gwala Stadium in Pietermaritzburg.
AmaZulu have been undefeated since their 4-0 thrashing of Kaizer Chiefs, although their form since then has been patchy, with back-to-back draws against Marumo Gallants and Richards Bay.
Usuthu find themselves in eighth position on the table and a win could take them up to sixth, as they bid to climb up the ladder.

Maritzburg, on the other hand, saw their three-game winning run come to an end after they were humbled 1-0 by Chippa United on Sunday. The Team of Choice dropped down to third-from-bottom on the standings, just two points above the drop zone and still have a lot of work ahead of them in their bid to avoid relegation.
The sides could not be separated in the first round meeting after playing to a 1-1 draw early in the season. Maritzburg will be hoping for a better result this time around, while AmaZulu will be aiming to extend their unbeaten run.
The match is scheduled to kick-off at 19h30.
