Head to Head


Cape Town City hold a 4-1 advantage over Richards Bay with one draw in six clashes.

Cape Town City beat Richards Bay 2-1 when the clubs last met in January.

Richards Bay Form & Team News


Richards Bay have a run of four wins and three draws in eight matches to climb the table. They’ve since lost their last two fixtures. 

A late goal yielded a 2-1 win vs Sekhukhune United before losing 1-0 at Magesi. A strong response saw a 2-0 win over Kaizer Chiefs with 21 shots allowed to their opponents. 

The last two matches have seen two losses. A 3-1 defeat at Polokwane City was followed by a 1-0 loss to AmaZulu. 

Right back Lwandile Mabuya returned from injury for the last match but lasted just 35 minutes. Fellow fullback Fezile Gcaba is doubtful. 

Speedy winger Mfundo Thikazi is pushing for a debut after his arrival from Royal AM. Winger Somila Ntsundwana should be back from a knock.

Richards Bay Predicted Lineup


Magoola; Zulu, Allan, Mcineka, Ndaba; Mthembu, Mthethwa; Thikazi, Zikhali, Conco; Mbuthuma.

Cape Town City Form & Team News


City sacked coach Muhsin Ertugral following a run of three points in ten matches (seven losses). Since then, it’s just one point from two fixtures and they sit 14th in the PSL table. 

Cape Town City drew 0-0 at home vs TS Galaxy and drew 0-0 at Kaizer Chiefs. A 1-0 home loss to Marumo Gallants saw the club part ways with their coach.

A 0-0 draw at SuperSport United saw City outshot 14-4. Their last match saw a 2-1 home defeat to Sekhukhune United under former coach Eric Tinkler.

Interim coach Diogo Peral could hand a start to speedy winger Kayden Francis. He scored from the bench in the last match. 

Veteran midfielders Thulani Serero and Kamohelo Mokotjo could be benched once again. Teenager Emile Witbooi is available after playing in the under-17 African Cup of Nations. 

Cape Town City Predicted Lineup


Keet; Mkhize, Gordinho, Fasika, Nyama; Amato, Petrus; Rhodes, Domingo, Francis; Ah Shene.

Verdict

I'm backing a home win based on the stats.
