Richards Bay Form & Team News

The Rich Boyz have just two victories in nine matches this season. They have lost four of their seven league matches this season.

A 1-0 win over Sekhukhune United in the Carling Knockout Cup preceded a 0-0 home draw vs Stellenbosch. After losing 2-0 at Sekhukhune United in the PSL, they progressed in the cup.

A 0-0 draw at home to Cape Town City after extra time was followed by victory on penalties. In midweek, they lost 1-0 at Orlando Pirates after being outshot 18-4.

Central midfielder Langelihle Mhlongo remains suspended for this clash. Coach Brandon Truter used a back five in midweek but could return to a back four here.

Keegan Allan will be back in the starting XI after a rest. Yamela Mbuthuma is back from a ban to lead the attack.

Richards Bay Predicted Lineup

Otieno; Mabuya, Allan, Mcineka. Mabau; Mthethwa, Mthembu; Figuareido, Sithebe, Ntsundwana; Mbuthuma.

Magesi are unbeaten in six matches in all competitions. They have kept four clean sheets during this streak.

A 1-0 win at Golden Arrows was followed by a 0-0 draw at home to Royal AM. Magesi shocked Orlando Pirates 3-2 away in the Carling Knockout Cup.

After a 0-0 draw at Cape Town City, they drew 2-2 with Kaizer Chiefs having led 2-0. Last weekend, a goal in the 44th minute was enough to win 1-0 at TS Galaxy in the Carling KO Cup quarter-finals.

Coach Clinton Larsen has named an unchanged XI for the last four fixtures.

There are no major injuries or suspensions.
