Head to Head

Richards Bay Form

Richards Bay sit ninth in the PSL table and have opened a five-point gap to 14th.

They drew 1-1 at both Polokwane City and Sekhukhune United in the league. A 1-0 home defeat to Orlando Pirates followed in the Carling Knockout Cup.

After a 0-0 home draw vs Durban City, they beat AmaZulu 2-0 at home in a KZN derby and then drew with Siwelele 1-1 at home last weekend.

Golden Arrows Form

Arrows are currently 11th on the PSL table but are in poor form. Prior to the AFCON break over December and much of January, Arrows lost three fixtures. They returned to PSL action on 20 January, losing 1-0 at Chiefs.

Away from home, Arrows have gone 12 matches without a win, losing seven of those. A 2-1 home victory vs TS Galaxy in the Carling Knockout Cup was followed by a 4-0 home win over Marumo Gallants. Prior to AFCON, Arrows lost to Pirates, TS Galaxy and AmaZulu.
