Richards Bay

"The affluent Natal boys" in the current Premier League campaign are battling to retain their status in the elite division, yet the prospects for salvation remain elusive. In the previous round, Richards Bay played a goalless draw at home against TS Galaxy. While this outcome extended Richards Bay's winless streak in the league, it at least halted a run of three consecutive defeats. As of now, Vasili Manousakis's team occupies the penultimate position after 20 matches, with a mere 14 points to their credit. They lag behind Moroka Swallows by seven points. It's noteworthy that Richards Bay advanced in the South African Cup by defeating Polokwane City with a 3-2 scoreline.

SuperSport United

At present, the "fashionable ones" sit in third place in the Premier League standings, level on points with Orlando Pirates. The battle for the second spot and a ticket to the Champions League is intense, as Stellenbosch is right on the heels of this duo! However, it's worth mentioning that SuperSport United's recent results haven't been particularly pleasing. In the previous round, Gavin Hunt's side managed to secure points away from home against league leaders Mamelodi Sundowns. While this is a commendable result, overall, the "fashionable ones" haven't clinched victory in five consecutive league matches. In the South African Cup, Hunt's charges progressed past Cape Town City in a penalty shootout.

Interesting Match Facts and Head-to-Head History

• In the current season, both teams have exchanged home victories in the South African championship.
• The "Total Over 2.5" bet has only paid off in one out of the last four matches.
• Both teams scored in two out of four matches.

Richards Bay vs SuperSport United Prediction

Labeling SuperSport United's away results successful this season is challenging. In their last nine away fixtures, the "fashionable ones" have managed only one victory. Therefore, we believe the hosts are closer to securing victory in this encounter. Our bet is on "Richards Bay to win with a handicap (0)."
