The KwaZulu-Natal Derby is upon us as Durban City continue their push for a top-three finish in the Betway Premiership when they welcome Richards Bay to the Chatsworth Stadium on matchday 22. The home team are in sixth place in the league standings, while Richards Bay are 12th. Here's our match prediction.
Durban City are still in contention for securing a top-three finish in the Betway Premiership standings. In the lead-up to this clash, they've amassed 32 points from 21 games and are two points behind third-placed Sekhukhune United.
In their recent match, they failed to capitalise on Kaizer Chiefs' woes and succumbed to a 1-0 away defeat. It was their first league defeat in three games (W2, D1).
The Citizens won't dwell on that result as they aim to return to the win column. Their home form has been impressive, going three games without defeat. Two of those outings ended in victory.
Richards Bay are five points ahead of the relegation playoff spot and three behind a mid-table position. To this point, they've amassed 23 points from 21 games.
The Natal Rich Boys have suffered back-to-back league defeats heading into this clash, with their most recent setback being a 2-1 away defeat to AmaZulu.
With just one win in their last seven matches, their road performance brings little comfort in their bid for a positive outcome, having gone seven games without a win.

Our Durban City FC vs Richards Bay Prediction
Meetings between Durban City and Richards Bay have been tense affairs. Their last three league meetings have yet to produce a winner (D3). However, the former should be able to secure maximum points this time around, given their consistent form.
Durban City have won six of their last ten home matches, and facing a side that's tied for the league's worst away record should be a walk in the park. Richards Bay have won just one of their last 11 away league games. Few positives are likely to come from their performance. Our Durban City vs Richards Bay prediction: Durban City wins.
