Rich Boyz Form – Four Draws in Last Six

Richards Bay lost just four of their next 20 fixtures. Their last six matches have seen four draws.

After five stalemates in six PSL matches, they drew 1-1 at Siwelele in the Nedbank Cup and progressed on penalties. A damaging 3-0 loss followed away to Chippa United.

Despite having 61% possession and 19 shots, Richards Bay lost 1-0 at home to AmaZulu in the Nedbank Cup. On Sunday, they could only draw 0-0 away at struggling Orbit College.

Four Losses in Last Five Matches – Chiefs Are Struggling

Chiefs have lost four of their last five matches to crash out of two cups and fall out of the title race. They had suffered just one loss in 15 matches across all competitions before that.

After four straight 1-0 wins, they lost 2-1 away to Stellenbosch in the Nedbank Cup. A 2-1 home win over Al Masry preceded a 2-1 defeat away to Zamalek to exit the CAF Confederations Cup.

A 2-1 home loss to Stellenbosch in the PSL was followed by a humbling last time out. They lost 3-0 at home to Orlando Pirates and were fortunate that the margin of defeat was not bigger.
