Polokwane City vs Richards Bay Predictions


A low-scoring affair is expected here. Richards Bay are terrible on their travels. I’m backing Polokwane to eke out a 1-0 win at home.

Head to Head


Richards Bay hold a 4-2 advantage over Polokwane City with one draw.

When the sides met in the Nedbank Cup in February, Richards Bay won 3-2 at home.

Polokwane City Form & Team News


Polokwane ended a five-match winless run last time out. That victory saw Rise and Shine jump to ninth in the PSL table. 

A 3-2 loss at Royal AM preceded two draws, 1-1 at ten-man SuperSport United and 2-2 at home vs Cape Town City having led 2-0. A 5-0 humbling away at Stellenbosch FC followed. 

The side bounced back in their last match. They scored a 93rd minute goal to win 1-0 away at bottom-placed Cape Town Spurs.

Coach Phuti Mohafe hopes to have number one goalkeeper Manuel Sapunga back from injury.

Puleng Marema and Ndumiso Mabena are injured in attack. Hlayisi Chauke could lead the line ahead of Douglas Mapfumo.

Polokwane City Predicted Lineup


Sapunga; Matuludi, Nikani, Nkaki, Ndlovu; Ramabu, Alexander, Kambala, Maphangule, Appollis; Chauke.

Richards Bay Form & Team News


Richards Bay have won three successive home PSL matches. Those wins may be enough to seal a relegation playoff spot.

The Natal Rich Boyz conceded in the last minute to lose 1-0 at Mamelodi Sundowns before two home wins. They beat Moroka Swallows and Kaizer Chiefs both 1-0. 

A late goal conceded saw a 1-0 loss at relegation rivals Cape Town Spurs. They bounced back to beat AmaZulu 2-1 at home last Tuesday.

Coach Vusimuzi Vilakazi is without key winger Sanele Barns due to suspension. He has created the most chances in the PSL this season.

Justice Figuareido may take his place after netting as a substitute against AmaZulu.

Richards Bay Predicted Lineup


Magoola; Mabuya, Mthethwa, Dube, Mabua; Malepe, Makhubela, Mhlongo; Figuareido, Muyaba, Ntsundwana.

Verdict

I see Polokwane grinding out a 1-0 home win here.
