The Brazilians, who are looking for a fifth straight title and an incredible 12th since the dawn of the PSL era in the 1996/97 season, will host Benni McCarthy’s Usuthu at Loftus Versfeld at 17:00 today.

Despite AmaZulu finishing last season as runners-up and having added a host of new players to their squad, leading South African bookies Hollywoodbets can’t see Mamelodi Sundowns losing their clash in Pretoria.
