Richards Bay

Richards Bay finished 15th in the South African Premier League and is now on the brink of retaining its place in the top tier of South African football. After three play-off matches, Richards Bay has accumulated 5 points and leads the standings based on goal difference, ahead of the University of Pretoria, who have completed all their four games. Therefore, a draw in this final match will suffice for Richards Bay to stay in the elite league.

In the previous round, Richards Bay drew 1-1 with the University of Pretoria, securing their position at the top. Before that, they drew 0:0 away against Baroka and won 1:0 against the University of Pretoria.

Baroka

Baroka currently sits at the bottom of the play-off standings with 2 points. However, they still have a chance to be promoted. If Baroka defeats Richards Bay, it could create a unique situation where all three teams have 5 points. If Baroka wins by a single goal, all three teams will have the same goal difference, and the top spot will be determined by the number of goals scored.

In their last match, Baroka could have been eliminated from promotion contention but managed to salvage a 1-1 draw against the University of Pretoria.

Interesting facts and head-to-head history

• Baroka is winless in their last five matches.
• Richards Bay has lost only 1 of their last 8 matches.

Richards Bay vs Baroka Prediction
