Richard Ofori rallies AmaZulu ahead of TS Galaxy battle in Mbombela

Only a point separates the two sides, with AmaZulu in seventh place on 11 points, while the Rockets trail just behind in eighth. 

Ofori believes Usuthu’s solid away form, where their only defeat has been against champions Mamelodi Sundowns, could make the difference.

"We take each game at a time, and at least away we managed to get two points from two games, which is also a positive, so we keep on [going] on that," said Ofori.

"We have only lost against Sundowns, which was away, so it's a positive thing for all of us as a group, and in this game we know how difficult it is because they managed to get a point away, so it's going to be a difficult task.

"But we need to go there and show what we have, and enjoy."

Both teams come into tonight’s clash unbeaten in their last four league matches, with AmaZulu riding high after a 2-1 win over Stellenbosch, and Ofori says the togetherness and spirit in the camp has been crucial in building consistency.

"Team spirit so far has been good, it's so amazing, everyone – you don't see the young players [separate themselves], this is the season we have one of the youngest teams," he added.

"But we are coping very well, everyone is taking instructions, which means they are growing faster, so that's a positive sign for all of us.

"So we need to always guide them as the senior ones, and then try everything to manage them also because, at the same time they are young, they are now coming into playing their first or second game, so we need to help them grow."
