Richards Bay vs Marumo Gallants Predictions


These sides drew 0-0 earlier this year and I see a repeat here. Marumo are solid enough to go to Richards Bay and keep a clean sheet.

Head to Head


Richards Bay hold a 4-2 advantage over Marumo Gallants with three draws in nine clashes.

The clubs played out a 0-0 draw when they met in January. 

Richards Bay Form & Team News


Richards Bay have scored just five goals in 15 league matches. They hover just above the relegation zone after nine league defeats so far. 

A 2-0 home loss to Mamelodi Sundowns made it six defeats in seven matches. A 0-0 draw at Marumo Gallants and a 2-1 loss at Cape Town City followed. 

The Rich Boyz suffered a 3-1 home loss in the Nedbank Cup to Orlando Pirates. Their last match saw a tight 0-0 home draw vs Magesi in a match they were targeting for a rare win. 

Richards Bay have quite a settled XI. Striker Mxolisi Macuphu can signed from Royal AM to boost the attack.

Somila Ntsundwana is pushing for a recall on the left wing. Attacking midfielder Mduduzi Mdantsane could make his debut. 

Richards Bay Predicted Lineup


Magoola; Mabuya, Allan, Mcineka, Ndaba; Mthembu, Mthethwa, Mdantsane; Gumede, Mbuthuma, Ntsundwana.

Marumo Gallants Form & Team News


Marumo are unbeaten in four matches in all competitions. Seven points from the last three league matches have pushed them up to 13th in the PSL table. 

A 1-0 loss at Sekhukhune United made it three straight losses. A 0-0 home draw vs Richards Bay and a 1-0 home win over Cape Town City got the club back on track. 

Since then, they’ve drawn 2-2 at Chippa United in the league and won 1-0 at Pretoria Callies in the Nedbank Cup. 

Coach Dan Malesela has had a quiet transfer window. He could look to recall some trusted veterans for this match. 

Forward Siyabulela Shai is suspended and so is midfielder Masindi Nemtajela. Gabadinho Mhango will return to lead the line but new signing Sede Dion is another option.

Marumo Gallants Predicted Lineup


Arubi; Khumalo, Mathiane, Sikhosana, Mabotja; Nange, Manaka, Mphambaniso; Dhludhlu, Mhango, Msendami.
