Cape Town Spurs vs Richards Bay prediction and betting tips on April 26, 2024
Cape Town Spurs will host their match in the 26th round of the South African Championship at their home ground, the Athlone Stadium, on Friday evening against Richards Bay. Here's the prediction for this match from the experts at Dailysports.
Cape Town Spurs
The urban warriors have faltered in the current Premier League campaign and are practically without hope of retaining their place in the elite division. Currently, Cape Town Spurs occupy the bottom spot in the South African Premier League table. They have accumulated only 12 points in 24 matches, with just three victories in the current campaign amidst 18 defeats.
The team is trailing by 14 points from the safety of the 14th position, with only five matches left for Cape Town Spurs. It appears inevitable that Cape Town Spurs will plummet if they fail to secure a victory or even a draw against Swallows in the upcoming match. In the last round, Sean Bartlett's team suffered a defeat away against Sekhukhune, losing 1-0.
Richards Bay
The Natal rich boys are also fighting to retain their spot in the elite division in the current Premier League campaign. However, the situation for Richards Bay is considerably better than that of their upcoming opponents. In the previous round, Richards Bay secured a 1-0 home victory against Kaizer Chiefs. This victory marked their second consecutive win under the guidance of Vasili Manousakis.
Currently, Vasili Manousakis's team occupies the second-to-last position in the league table after 24 matches, with a total of 20 points. They are trailing Moroka Swallows by six points, and it seems that the battle for the crucial 14th place is still ahead. It's worth noting that Richards Bay's away record is dismal, with only one victory in 11 games, and they are currently on a streak of seven consecutive away defeats.
