Mamelodi Sundowns will be looking to bounce back to winning ways in the PSL when they take on Richards Bay at the Lucas Moripe Stadium on Saturday night. Masandawana are second in the league standings, while the Natal Rich Boys are in 11th place. Let’s get into the match prediction.
It isn’t often that you can use Mamelodi Sundowns and second place in the same sentence, but that’s the case this season, with the Brazilians having taken 18 points from nine games.
While most teams in the PSL would bite off your hand for that return, it is well below what we’ve come to expect from the champions. They’ve already dropped nine points this season, only two fewer than they lost across the entire of last term.
The hosts lost 1-0 to Golden Arrows on the road last week. However, they have not been beaten at home in the league since the 2023-24 season.
Meanwhile, after losing three in a row at the start of the league campaign, Richards Bay have improved in recent weeks and are now gunning a fifth match without defeat.
The Natal Rich Boys edged Stellenbosch 1-0 on the road last weekend. They have now recorded three clean sheets in their last four league games and have only conceded five this term.
Notably, the visitors have failed to score in three of their four away games this season and have also failed to score against this opponent in their last four encounters on the road.

Our Mamelodi Sundowns vs Richards Bay Prediction
Mamelodi Sundowns have not made the type of start to the season we’ve come to expect, and they will be determined to bounce back after suffering their first defeat of the campaign last week.
While Richards Bay have managed to avoid defeat in their last four league games, we cannot go against the home side fluffing their lines twice in a row, and certainly not on their home patch. Our Mamelodi Sundowns vs Richards Bay prediction is Mamelodi Sundowns wins & BTTS (NO).
