Richards Bay F.C. will welcome Orlando Pirates to KZN this Sunday afternoon when they host round four of the Premier Soccer League at the King Zwelitini Stadium. The Natal Rich Boys have earned four points after three games, good for eighth position, while the Buccaneers have won both of their matches putting them second with six points. Find our match prediction below.
Richards Bay had been deadlocked at 0-0 this past week against Royal AM in what was a closely fought encounter between two evenly matched sides.
It's been a mixed start to the season for The Natal Boys (W1, D1, L1), and somewhat against the expectations of the club and supporters, as they had been unbeaten in their last five matches before the season started.
However, they do still maintain their unbeaten run at home where they have won their previous four matches.
The Sea Robbers, on the other hand, had made light work of Polokwane City F.C, easily dispatching them with three superb goals.
The Bucs have picked up where they left off last season, with a nine-match unbeaten run, five of which they had managed to come out as the victors.
On the road though, The Happy People have struggled to find that final finishing touch, with one win and two disappointing draws in their last three matches in all competitions.

Our Richards Bay vs Orlando Pirates Prediction
A steely affair is expected from both these sides, who will feel they can take maximum points here. However, with Richards Bay being unable to find the back of the net this campaign, facing a Buccaneers outfit that have underperformed in the final third while on the road, chances could be scarce in this one.
With both teams showing high levels of defensive discipline, we feel it will be unlikely that both teams will find themselves on the scoresheet. Our Richards Bay F.C. vs Orlando Pirates prediction: Both teams to score (NO)!
