Cape Town Spurs vs Richards Bay Predictions


This is a huge game for the hosts as but a win and they will be on the verge of relegation. Richards Bay are poor on their travels. I’m backing BTTS No and Spurs to nick the home victory.

  • Cape Town Spurs have won 2 of their last 4 home PSL matches.

  • Richards Bay have lost their last 7 away PSL matches.
  • Richards Bay have failed to score in 3 of their last 5 away matches.

Head to Head


Richards Bay hold a 4-3 advantage over Cape Town Spurs with three draws in 10 meetings.

The sides last met in November as Richards Bay won 1-0 at home. 

Cape Town Spurs Form & Team News


Spurs have lost four PSL matches on the bounce. They’re now eight points off the relegation playoff spot with six matches left to play.

A 2-0 home win vs TS Galaxy made it successive wins in the league. Two 1-1 draws followed, at Orlando Pirates and Stellenbosch FC before a 1-0 loss at Moroka Swallows. 

A 2-0 defeat at Chippa United and a 1-0 home loss to Mamelodi Sundowns followed. Last time out, they were beaten 1-0 at Sekhukhune United after a wonder strike.

Coach Ernst Middendorp is without injured defender Lubeni Haukongo. Jarrod Moroole is suspended too. 

Centre back Rafik De Goede is doubtful. Captain Chumani Butsaka should shake off a knee complaint to start in midfield.

Cape Town Spurs Predicted Lineup


Dlamini; Maphathe, Nkwali, Gumede, Dortley, Kamagi; Butsaka, Mokeke; Velebayi, Cupido, Ralani.

Richards Bay Form & Team News


The Natal Rich Boyz have won successive league matches to jump eight points clear of Cape Town Spurs. They’re six points off safety with six rounds of action left.

Richards Bay lost 3-1 at home in the Nedbank Cup to SuperSport United before losing 2-1 at Golden Arrows and 1-0 at Mamelodi Sundowns. A key 1-0 home win over Moroka Swallows followed. 

They made it successive league wins by beating Kaizer Chiefs 1-0 at home in their last match.

Langelihle Mhlongo is suspended in midfield. Moses Mthembu could take his place in the engine room.

Coach Vusimuzi Vilakazi could name an unchanged XI otherwise.

Richards Bay Predicted Lineup


Magoola; Mabuya, Mthethwa, Mcineka, Ndaba; Komane, Makhubela, Mthembu; Barns, Muyaba, Ntsundwana.

Verdict

I don't see both sides scoring in this match. Spurs are tipped for a win which represents excellent value.
