Richards Bay is set to host Orbit College in a highly anticipated match. The hosts have shown impressive form, winning three out of their last four games and maintaining a strong defense without conceding in many matches. Orbit College, on the other hand, is grappling with scoring challenges, having lost seven of their last ten matches. Key players might make a difference, with Richards Bay’s Gabadinho Mhango returning from suspension. The prediction leans toward a home win with a clean sheet for Richards Bay as Orbit College’s struggles seem to continue.

Head to Head


This is the first ever meeting between these clubs. 

Richards Bay Form & Team News


Richards Bay have lost just once in their last seven matches. They have turned around their fortunes after losing their opening four matches this season. 

After successive draws, they went to Stellenbosch and won 1-0 with 30% possession. A 1-0 home win over Magesi preceded a 4-1 thrashing by Mamelodi Sundowns with 3.70 xG conceded. 

The Rich Boyz thrashed Chippa United last time out. A 4-1 home win in the Carling Knockout Cup saw them advance into the last eight of the competition. 

Richards Bay have striker Gabadinho Mhango available after suspension. Knox Mutizwa scored a brace on debut and could play in attack ahead of Mhango.

There are two injuries to contend with. Centre back Tshepo Mabua and goalkeeper Salim Magoola are set to play no part. 

Richards Bay Predicted Lineup


Otieno; Vilakazi, Mcineka, Zuke, Khumalo; Mthembu, Mthethwa; Ngema, Zikali, Mutizwa; Bomelo.

Orbit College Form & Team News


Orbit College sit 13th in the PSL table with seven points from nine league matches. They exited the League Cup last time out. 

A 2-1 loss at struggling Chippa United made it four straight defeats. They drew 1-1 at home to Marumo Gallants before a key 1-0 home victory over Polokwane City with just 0.35 xG produced.

Their last two fixtures have ended in defeats. Orbit were outclassed in a 3-0 defeat at Golden Arrows before losing 1-0 at home to TS Galaxy in the Carling Knockout Cup as they conceded in extra time.

Orbit coach Pogiso Makhoye has a small squad, with very few options to freshen up his XI. Mbulelo Wagaba is a doubt up front after going off injured in their Cup defeat. 

Thulani Jingana is set to return to the starting lineup at left back. Winger Siyabulela Mabele is nearing a return from a knock.

Orbit College Predicted Lineup


Nkomo; Mkhabela, Mokgosi, Nhlapo, Jingana; Moleleki, Thibedi, Batsi, Mabele; Saleng; Wagaba.

Verdict

I see a home win with a clean sheet here.
