Local rivalry will be on show when Richards Bay and Durban City face off in the Carling Knockout Cup quarter-finals this Saturday. Coming off losses in the Premiership, both sides put aside their league ambitions to focus on the cup. We have a prediction for the match below.
Richards Bay are coming off a 2-1 defeat at home to Orbit College. Being a second straight league loss, they will welcome this break to focus on the cup competition.
Sandwiched by those losses was their 4-1 win over Chippa United, which booked them this quarter-final ticket. Having scored in six of their last seven matches, Richards Bay will be confident going into this game.
Durban City are coming from one derby to another and will be hoping to avoid back-to-back defeats. They are coming off a 1-0 loss away to AmaZulu in the Premiership, extending their inconsistent run.
In their last nine matches, Durban have only managed three wins inside 90 minutes. Their loss to AmaZulu was the third in their latest 10 matches.
In the last round before this, they needed extra time for their 4-1 victory at home to Polokwane. Of all things, they will be hoping to end a poor away run, having failed to win any of the last five. In that streak, they lost three times and failed to score in four.
