Richards Bay Form & Team News

The Natal Rich Boyz are winless in 18 matches in league and cup. They have only scored in three of their last 12 fixtures.

The 2022-23 season kicked off with a 2-0 defeat at SuperSport United. A late 2-1 home loss to Golden Arrows followed after a missed penalty.

On Saturday, Richards Bay got a solid point. They drew 0-0 at AmaZulu in a very tight KZN derby.

Coach Kaitano Tembo was without right back Katlego Maphathe last time out. He remains a doubt whilst experienced midfielder Abel Mabaso is absent.

Defender Abdi Banda may have to settle for a place on the bench again. Winger Sanele Barns is fit again and will start.

Richards Bay Predicted Lineup

Magoola; Dlamini, Mcineka, Dube, Mabua; Komane, Mathebula, Mohlamme; Barns, Koapeng, Ntsundwana.

Mamelodi Sundowns Form & Team News

Sundowns have five wins in five matches this season. Their last 28 league fixtures have no seen a single defeat.

Their opening two matches saw 2-1 wins, away at Sekhukhune United and at home to Kaizer Chiefs. A 1-0 home win against Moroka Swallows followed to reach the MTN8 semi-finals.

The last week has seen two fine wins, starting with a 4-0 victory at home to Golden Arrows. A steady 2-0 win at Chippa United followed on Saturday despite just three shots on target.

Coach Rhulani Mokwena is without key striker Peter Shalulile due to injury. Lucas Ribeiro will lead the line with Abubeker Nassir also absent.

Right backs Khuliso Mudau and Thapelo Morena are injured. Centre back Mosa Lebusa is carrying a knock.

Mamelodi Sundowns Predicted Lineup

Williams; Kekana, Mvala, Boutouil; Coetzee, Mokoena; Nku, Zwane, Allende, Modiba; Ribeiro.

Verdict

Richards Bay v Mamelodi Sundowns

I only see one winner in this match. I'm tipping Sundowns to win to zero as my bet bet. My value bet is Sundowns to win by at least two goals in the -1 handicap market.
