Richards Bay vs Moroka Swallows Predictions


The Natal Rich Boyz are in dire home form. They face a confident Dube Birds side. I’m tipping the visitors to win in 90 minutes in this match.

Head to Head


Moroka Swallows hold a 3-2 advantage over Richards Bay across five previous meetings.

The sides last met in September as Richards Bay ended a long winless streak with a 1-0 victory at Swallows.

Richards Bay Form & Team News


Richards Bay have won just once in 24 matches in all competitions. They’ve lost nine of their last 11 home matches (two draws).

After 21 matches and eight months without a win, they finally took three points in a 1-0 win at Swallows. A 2-1 home loss followed to Chippa United before a hard-fought 1-1 draw at TS Galaxy. 

Their last match brought a 1-0 home loss to Polokwane City. They played 75 minutes with ten men.

Coach Kaitano Tembo finally is without striker Sinethemba Mngomezulu due to suspension. Abdi Banda is doubtful in defence with an injury.

Lucky Mohomi should shake off a knock to start in midfield. Letsie Koapeng could lead the line up front.

Richards Bay Predicted Lineup


Magoola; Dlamini, Mthethwa, Dube, Mabua; Komane, Mohomi, Mhlongo; Barns Koapeng, Ntsundwana.

Moroka Swallows Form & Team News


Swallows sit fourth in the PSL table. Their last six league matches have yielded an impressive 13 points (WWLWWD).

After successive victories, they surprisingly lost 1-0 at home to Richards Bay. A 2-0 victory at ten-man Stellenbosch FC followed. 

Another win vs ten men followed as they beat AmaZulu 2-1 at home. Their most recent fixture brought a meek 0-0 home draw against Chippa United with just one shot on target.

Coach Steve Komphela has a settle core of players. Gabadinho Mhango missed the last match but should return in place of Kagiso Malinga. 

Keegan Allan is closing in on a return from injury in defence.

Moroka Swallows Predicted Lineup


Akpeyi; Phillips, Allan, V. Sibiya, Sam; Makhubela, Jali, Phalane, Mtshali; Mabaso, Mhango.

Verdict

I'm backing Swallows to win this fixture in 90 minutes. I'm also backing them to keep a clean sheet vs goal-shy Richards Bay.
