Black Leopards are looking to open up some breathing room between themselves and strugglers Santos.

The 14th-placed 'Lidoda Duvha' are four points ahead of the last-placed Cape side.

Vladisav Heric's men managed to salvage a 2-2 draw at Free State Stars on Wednesday, but skipper Mongezi Bobe reckons his team can ill-afford to drop further points at this crucial stage in the season.

"AmaZulu have a good squad and they've been doing well, but we'll be playing at home and we're aiming to make life difficult for them from the start of the match," he explained.

"We've been guilty of starting slow and responding after our opponents have scored but we're determined to change that bad habit starting with the game against AmaZulu."
