Richards Bay and Golden Arrows will face off at the King Zwelithini Stadium in the PSL on Friday evening. The Natal Rich Boys are ninth in the league standings, while Abafana Bes’thende are 11th. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Richards Bay returned from the Africa Cup of Nations break with a 1-1 draw against Siwelele last week, which extended their unbeaten run in the PSL to three games (W1 D2).
Moses Mthembu scored for the second game in succession for the Natal Rich Boys in that match, but as a team, they have only netted 11 times this season - the fewest of the top 10 teams in the table.
The hosts have taken 12 points from eight home games this season (W3 D3 L2) and are unbeaten in their last three. They also kept clean sheets in two of the matches during this unbeaten run.
Meanwhile, Golden Arrows returned to league competition with a 1-0 loss to Kaizer Chiefs on the road last week. They have now lost each of their last five games in all competitions.
During this losing streak, the Backheel Boys conceded two or more in three games and failed to score in two. However, they have netted 19 goals this term - the second-most in the division.
The visitors have the worst away record in the South African top flight this season, having earned only one point in seven matches on the road (D1 L6).
