Richards Bay and Sekhukhune United are set for a closely contested fixture, with current form and statistics pointing strongly toward another draw. Richards Bay come into the match unbeaten in six but have drawn three in a row and a league-high 12 of 28 games. Sekhukhune United have managed only two wins in their last 11 matches and have several key absentees. With both sides struggling for victories and boasting similar recent performances, a 1-1 draw is the key prediction for this matchup.
