Amazulu may just start the weekend’s MTN8 final with the momentum following this weekend’s league results.
The Sea Robbers face Usuthu in the final on November 5 at the Moses Mabhida Stadium. This weekend Romain Folz oversaw his first league win when Amazulu beat Stellenbosch 1-0.
Orlando Pirates will need to pick themselves up after being outplayed in their 1-0 Soweto Derby loss.
Folz though is downplaying the mental advantage.
“I’m sure Orlando Pirates will enter the game with the clear mindset to be the best team on that day,” Folz said in his post-match press conference.
“I don’t think the game before plays a big part either for us or them. But for us, you might always argue that from a mental standpoint, it might give you an edge [since AmaZulu won] – I’m not sure about it, because we’ve got professional players and they will manage their emotions well.
“So you can go from one game to another without feeling the effect of the task not being completed in the first place on the previous game.
“I’m not sure that is going to be an element to consider going to the game. My only point and that was the message to the players going to this game, was, it was our last repetition before the final.”
