AmaZulu FC face a tough test as they host Orlando Pirates in the Betway Premiership, with the Buccaneers seeking to get their title challenge back on track. The match will be played at the Orlando Amstel Arena, with kick-off set for 15:00 CAT (13:00 GMT). Orlando Pirates dropped two vital points in Friday's 2-2 draw with Richards Bay, although they did at least manage to come from behind twice to rescue one. Thulani Gumede put Richards Bay 1-0 up in the ninth minute and that lead lasted until Oswin Appollis' 51st minute equaliser. Lindokuhle Zikhali restored the Natal Rich Boys' advantage seven minutes later and it took a late leveller from Lebone Seema to ensure Pirates at least shared the spoils. Pirates missed a chance to go top of the Premiership with Sundowns in CAF Champions League action on Sunday. However, as fate would have it, Abdeslam Ouaddou's charges will have another opportunity to capitalise on Sundowns' absence from league action this weekend. Sundowns' clash with Polokwane City - initially scheduled for April 15 - has been pushed back two weeks to April 29. Pirates - currently a point behind first with a game in hand - can go back to the summit of the Betway Premiership if they beat AmaZulu. This, it should be noted, is one of the Premiership's trickier tasks. Usuthu are currently fourth in the Premiership and chasing a CAF Confederation Cup spot. AmaZulu are not without their own challenges. Sporting director Pedro Dias and assistant coach Simo Dladla are set to depart at the end of the season, with the club seemingly in a state of flux. However, Usuthu remain an ambitious side with quality players and a strong fan base built up as a result of a proud history. Under former Kaizer Chiefs boss Arthur Zwane, results have remained relatively consistent regardless of changes around him.
