Lamontville Golden Arrows FC travel to face Amazulu in a Premier Soccer League fixture on Saturday, October 31. The match kicks off at 18:00 local time at the Princess Magogo Stadium in Durban.
It is a tough assignment for an Arrows side that has struggled for form. They sit eighth in the standings with eight points from eight matches, having won just once this season. Their recent run shows no victories in their last four outings, with two draws and two defeats. The latest of those was a 1-0 home loss to Milford FC last weekend.

That result extended a winless streak that has seen the team score only three goals all season while conceding four. Their form guide reads LDDLW.
Facing Amazulu, who are currently third in the table, represents a significant step up in quality. The gap to league leaders Mamelodi Sundowns is already 15 points, making a positive result in this derby important for morale and momentum. A look at the fixtures shows this is the start of a challenging period.
The team will hope to build on the defensive solidity shown in a goalless draw with Kaizer Chiefs last month. Preparations will focus on converting their opportunities, a problem area so far. All attention is now on the short trip to KwaMashu for the Saturday evening showdown.
