Two sides at opposite ends of the PSL table will face off this week when Richards Bay take on Supersport United on Saturday afternoon. The hosts are in 15th place in the league standings, while the visitors are second. Richards Bay have struggled to get going this season. They come into this match with just ten points earned in the first 15 games. That sees them holding the relegation playoff spot as it stands, six points above bottom club Cape Town Spurs. The Natal Rich Boys were beaten 1-0 by Kaizer Chiefs in their last match. That result extended their active losing streak to three in a row and winless in four. Richards Bay currently possess the worst attacking record in the top flight, with ten goals to date, and they also failed to score in three of their last four matches. The hosts have taken five points from a possible 24 at home this season, though they have managed to avoid defeat in their last two games. The Rich Boys are the underdogs in this one.
Meanwhile, Supersport United look set to challenge for CAF Champions League qualification again this season. They have managed 29 points from their 15 matches to date, with a record of nine wins, two draws and four losses. That leaves them three points ahead of Cape Town City in third and five points behind Sundowns, though they have played three games more than the Brazilians. Matsatsantsa pulled off a crucial 3-1 win over Orlando Pirates last week, which extended their winning run to three matches following 2-1 wins over Moroka Swallows and Al Hilal in the CAF Confederation Cup. In away matches this season, Supersport have taken 14 points from a possible 24 and have lost just one of their last five. The visitors won the last match between these sides 2-0 last season and are unbeaten in the last three encounters.
