Richards Bay vs Magesi Predictions


This match is between two of the PSL’s bottom three. I see them cancelling each other out. A 0-0 draw looks likely as neither side scores many goals.

Richards Bay Form & Team News


Richards Bay have lost nine of their 14 league matches with just five goals scored. In all competitions, it’s just one win in the last 13 fixtures.

A 1-0 win at Golden Arrows ended a five-match losing streak. A 2-0 home loss to Mamelodi Sundowns was followed by a 0-0 stalemate at Marumo Gallants. 

Their last two matches have ended in losses. A 2-1 defeat at Cape Town City preceded a 3-1 home loss in the Nedbank Cup to Orlando Pirates. 

Coach Papi Zothwane could hand debuts to two new signings. Striker Mxolisi Macuphu and midfielder Mduduzi Mdantsane have joined the club. 

Salim Magoola is set to return in goal after being rested in the Nedbank Cup. Keagan Allan is expected to be back to anchor the back four. 

Richards Bay Predicted Lineup


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

Magesi Form & Team News


Magesi sit at the boom of the PSL table with just one win in 13 rounds of action. Including cup games, it’s seven losses in eight fixtures. 

They lost 1-0 at SuperSport United and 1-0 at home to Orlando Pirates to make it four straight losses. A 0-0 draw at TS Galaxy did not stop the rot. 

A 1-0 home loss to AmaZulu and a 2-1 home defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns followed. Last weekend, they lost 2-0 at home to SuperSport United to exit the Nedbank Cup. 

Magesi have signed three players in the transfer window to boost their squad. Mcedi Vandala arrived on loan from Sekhukhune United and is set to start. 

Winger Edmore Chirambadare is out injured but two new midfielders will play. Ntsako Makhubela and Lehlohonolo Mtshali will strengthen the engine room.
