- Orlando Pirates have won 9 of their last 11 PSL matches.
- Orlando Pirates have scored 16 goals in their last 6 matches (2.67 goals per game).

Pirates hold a 3-2 lead over Richards Bay across seven clashes with two draws.
Richards Bay have scored just one goal in those seven matches and lost 1-0 away at Pirates in November.
Richards Bay Form & Team News
Richards Bay are struggling this season and have lost nine of their 14 league matches. They’ve only scored five goals all season in the league.
After five straight defeats, they ground out a 1-0 win at Golden Arrows. A good performance followed at home to Mamelodi Sundowns but they lost 2-0 despite having 15 shots.
The Natal Rich Boyz drew 0-0 away to Marumo Gallants before losing 2-1 at Cape Town City in their last match. They were unfortunate to lose after allowing just 1.01 xG.
New coach Papi Zothwane could hand a debut to a newly signed striker. Veteran target man Mxolisi Macuphu has joined from Royal AM.
Experienced attacker Thabiso Kutumela is out of favour. Striker Thabang Sibanyoni recently saw his loan from Mamelodi Sundowns terminated.
Richards Bay Predicted Lineup
Magoola; Mabuya, Allan, Mcineka, Ndaba; Zikhali, Mthembu, Mthethwa; Gumede, Mbuthuma, Ntsundwana.
Orlando Pirates Form & Team News
Pirates have won 17 of their last 22 matches in all competitions. They have won nine of their 11 league matches this term.
The Sea Robbers destroyed Marumo Gallants 8-1 before a 1-0 win followed at struggling Magesi FC. Ater beating Stade d’Abidjan 3-0 in the CAF Champions League, they lost 1-0 at Cape Town City in the PSL.
Bucs’ last two matches have been in the CAF Champions League. They beat Belouizdad 2-1 at home before a famous 2-1 win vs Al Ahly in Cairo.
Centre back Olisa Ndah is injured and Nkosinathi Sibisi is suspended. Tapelo Xoki could come into the heart of the defence.
Winger Monnapule Saleng is out of favour. The best XI is expected to be selected after their midweek fixture vs Royal AM was postponed.
