Richards Bay

"The Natal Rich Boys" are fighting for survival, yet there seems to be no glimpse of enlightenment in their game. In the previous round, Richards Bay suffered a 1-3 defeat away to Sekhukhune. This loss marked their third in the last four rounds of the South African Premier League, with only one, largely sensational, home victory of 3-1 against SuperSport United. Currently, Vasilios Manousakis's team sits second from bottom after 17 rounds, accumulating 13 points. They trail Royal AM, their upcoming opponent, by six points. It's worth noting that Richards Bay progressed in the South African Cup by defeating Polokwane City with a score of 3-2.

Royal AM

As mentioned, "The Thwala Turtles" currently reside in the safe zone, with a six-point cushion from the 15th position. However, Royal AM's recent performances indicate significant issues, and the fight for survival could intensify, especially if John Maduka's team loses the upcoming match against Richards Bay. In the last Premier League round, "The Thwala Turtles" held Kaiser Chiefs to a goalless draw at home. This draw marked their second consecutive one with the same scoreline at the Royal AM's ground, while Maduka's charges have failed to secure a victory in their last three encounters. In contrast to their upcoming opponent, Royal AM lost their cup match against AmaZulu with a 0-1 scoreline away.
