Sekhukhune United vs Richards Bay Predictions - BTTS Yes as Babina Noko go top

In the upcoming clash between Sekhukhune United and Richards Bay, Sekhukhune are favored to edge out a win, potentially moving them to the top of the league. Despite Sekhukhune being winless in their last four matches, their recent home form and Richards Bay's inconsistent performance might give them the edge. Injuries to key players could impact both teams, but Sekhukhune's lineup is slightly more robust with vital returns. Betting odds suggest a home win with both teams likely finding the net.

Head to Head


Richards Bay hold a 4-3 advantage across nine meetings with two draws.

Richards Bay won 2-1 at home when they hosted Sekhukhune in March.

Sekhukhune United Form & Team News


Sekhukhune are winless in four matches as their early-season form is a distant memory. However, they can go to the top of the table with a victory in this match.

A late winner sealed a 1-0 home victory vs Siwelele, before missing a last-minute penalty to draw 1-1 at home vs Chippa United. They lost 1-0 at Polokwane City in a toothless display.

Babina Noko’s last match saw a 3-1 Carling Knockout Cup loss at Golden Arrows. On Saturday, they lost 1-0 at Siwelele after missing a 78th-minute penalty. 

Coach Eric Tinkler remains without two possible starting XI players. Right back Tsepo Masimbi and midfielder Linda Mntambo are absent with injuries. 

Toasted Nsabata will hope to return in goal for this one. Tresor Tshibwabwa is back from injury to boost the defence.

Sekhukhune United Predicted Lineup


Nsabata; Mashiloane, Thokolo, Tshibwabwa, Letlapa; Monare, Mkhize; Maarman, Mncube, Makgalwa; Grobler.

Richards Bay Form & Team News


Richards Bay have won four of their last seven matches in all competitions. However, their last three league matches have yielded just one point (LLD).

A 4-1 thrashing vs Mamelodi Sundowns saw 3.70 xG conceded. They beat Chippa United 4-1 in the Carling Knockout Cup before a shock 2-1 home loss to Orbit College. 

After beating Durban 3-1 in the Carling Knockout Cup quarter-finals (with 25 shots attempted), they drew 1-1 at Polokwane City last time out. An 86th-minute penalty rescued a point on the road. 

Moses Mthembu and Tlukasani Mthethwa are injury doubts in midfield. Both need late fitness tests to determine their involvement. 

Defender Tshepo Mabua is back in contention after injury. He is set to start at either left back or centre back.

Richards Bay Predicted Lineup


Otieno; Mabuya, Mcineka, Mabua, Khumalo; Mthembu, Zuke; Ndelu, Zikali, Thikazi; Mutizwa.

Verdict

I'm backing both teams to find the net, with Sekhukhune to take home the three points.
