Mamelodi Sundowns vs Richards Bay Predictions - Brazilians to make it 10 straight wins over Rich Boyz

Mamelodi Sundowns are strong favorites heading into their home match against Richards Bay, boasting 17 consecutive home wins (with 13 clean sheets). Historically, Sundowns have won all nine prior contests with Richards Bay, who have failed to score in their last six outings against them. Sundowns are tipped to win to zero and cover the -2 handicap. Richards Bay enter the game on a 5-match unbeaten run but will likely struggle, especially with a key goalkeeper injured. Expect a decisive Sundowns victory.

Mamelodi Sundowns Form & Team News


Sundowns sit second in the PSL table, but they’ve dropped points in four of their nine league matches.

After a fortunate 0-0 draw at Kaizer Chiefs, they won 1-0 at Stellenbosch with just two shots allowed. A 3-0 win over Magesi preceded a 1-1 draw at Marumo Gallants after an iffy display. 

A 3-1 home win over Durban City made it 17 straight home league victories. In midweek, they lost 1-0 away to Golden Arrows as they mustered just nine shot attempts. 

Coach Miguel Cardoso is without two attacking midfielders. Themba Zwane is injured and Kutlwano Letlhaku is on under-20 national team duty. 

Newly arrived Portuguese midfielder Nuno Santos could make his first start.

Mamelodi Sundowns Predicted Lineup


Williams; Mudau, Khoza, Cupido, Modiba; Mokoena, Allende; Sales, Santos; Rayners, Matthews.

Richards Bay Form & Team News


Richards Bay lost their first four matches this season, but have since gone five without losing. The Rich Boyz have three wins and two draws in that run. 

A 1-0 home win vs Chippa United stopped the rot, before a 0-0 draw at Siwelele. After drawing 1-1 at home with TS Galaxy, they went to Stellenbosch and won 1-0 with 30% possession.

In midweek, they eked out another 1-0 win over Magesi. Richards Bay outshot their opponents 12-4 in that win.

Richards Bay goalkeeper Salim Magoola is injured. Ian Otieno is set to start again after successive clean sheets.

Striker Knox Mutizwa is pushing for a debut in attack. Tshepo Mabua is set to return at centre back.

Otieno; Vilakazi, Mcineka, Mabua, Khumalo; Zuke, Mthethwa; Ngema, Zikali, Mthembu; Mhango.
