City look to have renewed energy under their new coach. Richards Bay carry little goal threat and tend to lose this fixture. I’m backing a home win to zero.

Cape Town City Form & Team News

City sit seventh in the PSL table after three wins in their last five matches. Their first eight matches of the campaign saw four defeats

After successive defeats, a 1-0 win at Chippa United and a shock 1-0 home loss to AmaZulu followed.

Following the sacking of coach Eric Tinkler, City beat both Kaizer Chiefs 1-0 and Orlando Pirates 1-0 at home under Muhsin Ertugral. Their last match saw a 1-0 defeat away at struggling Marumo Gallants.

Interim coach Muhsin Ertugral is without right back Thami Mkhize due to suspension. Fellow defender Keanu Cupido is an injury doubt.

Tshegofatso Nyama is a question mark at left back due to an injury. He should be available to start.

Cape Town City Predicted Lineup

Keet; Dondolo, Gordinho, Fasika, Nyama; Nodada, Petrus; Rhodes, Tjiueza, Gonzalez; Soukhouna.

Richards Bay Form & Team News

Richards Bay have scored just four goals in 13 league matches. They have lost eight and won just twice all season in the PSL.

Successive home losses made it five defeats on the bounce. A much-needed 1-0 win at Golden Arrows preceded a 2-0 home loss to Mamelodi Sundowns as they outshot the champions 15-6.

Last time out, the Natal Rich Boyz ground out a 0-0 draw away at Marumo Gallants in a relegation tussle.

Experienced attackers Thabiso Kutumela and Justice Figuareido may be benched once again.

The club have offloaded big-name striker Thabang Sibanyoni after just six months on loan.

Richards Bay Predicted Lineup

Magoola; Mabuya, Allan, Mcineka, Ndaba; Zikhali, Mthembu, Mthethwa; Gumede, Mbuthuma, Ntsundwana.

Verdict

Cape Town City v Richards Bay

I'm backing City to win at home with a clean sheet.
