Match Preview
Last season, Richards Bay fought for survival in the Premier League, finishing in 15th place. As a result, Vasili Manousakis' team had to play in a relegation playoff, where they confidently took first place, leaving Pretoria and Baroka behind. In the current Premier League campaign, Richards Bay started with a home victory over TS Galaxy (1-0), but their results have deteriorated significantly since then.
In the last round, Richards Bay hosted AmaZulu and lost 1-3. This defeat marked their fourth consecutive loss in the league. After 9 rounds, Richards Bay sits at the bottom of the standings, with just five points.
Meanwhile, SuperSport United finished in 7th place last season, although they were in the top 3 earlier in the year. In the current South African Championship, SuperSport has played nine matches and occupies 9th place with 9 points.
In their last match, SuperSport hosted Marumo Gallants and lost 0-1. The team has now gone three matches without a win – two draws and one loss. In total, SuperSport has secured only one victory in their last five matches.
