Richards Bay will welcome high-flying Orlando Pirates to the King Zwelithini Stadium on matchday 24 of the Betway Premiership. The hosts are in 11th place in the league standings, while the visitors are second. Here's our match prediction.
Richards Bay resumed league duties perfectly following the international break. Brandon Truter's charges beat Stellenbosch 2-1 at home.
Despite that outcome, their struggles continue unabated. They have lost three of their last four league games. It's worth noting that this side has recorded just two wins in their last 11 matches across all competitions.
The Natal Rich Boys are privileged with home advantage once more. Since their defeat to Orbit College in October, they've been a difficult side to beat, having gone six games without defeat, including their last two wins.
Orlando Pirates boast the league's best defense (GA 9) and offense (GF 45) in the Betway Premiership this season. The latter has come to the fore in their last two league outings, scoring a whopping 11 goals.
On Tuesday, they welcomed Lamontville Golden Arrows to Orlando Stadium. It was a massacre as they claimed a commanding 5-0 win. This follows a 6-0 thrashing of TS Galaxy.
Amabhakabhaka have now gone six league games without defeat. This includes winning their last two. In unfamiliar territory, their performance has been terrific with eight wins in their last 11 outings. Additionally, they've won their last four matches.
