Richards Bay vs Stellenbosch Predictions


The hosts play out tight matches where the first goal is key. Stellenbosch have more firepower and confidence right now. I’m backing them to score first and to win to zero.

  • Richards Bay are seen BTTS No in 7 of their last 9 matches.
  • Richards Bay have lost 3 of their last 4 matches vs Stellenbosch.

  • Stellenbosch have kept 7 clean sheets in their last 12 matches.

Head to Head


Richards Bay hold a 4-3 advantage over Stellenbosch FC across eight previous meetings with one draw.

The last clash saw Richards Bay win 2-1 at home in May.

Richards Bay Form & Team News


Richards Bay have lost just twice in nine matches. They ended last season well but it’s been a mixed start to this campaign.

The 2024-25 season began with a 1-0 home win over TS Galaxy at home before a 1-0 loss at Chippa United. After a 0-0 draw at Royal AM, they conceded late to lose 1-0 at home to Orlando Pirates.

Last weekend, the Rich Boyz were knocked out of the Carling Knockout Cup after losing 1-0 at Sekhukhune United.

Coach Brandon Truter could be without Salim Magoola. Ian Otieno could start in goal in his place. 

Siyethemba Sithebe is fit again and pushing to start in midfield. Yamela Mbuthuma and Thabang Sibanyoni are competing to play up front. 

Richards Bay Predicted Lineup


Otieno; Mabuya, Allan, Mcineka, Mabua; Mthethwa, Mthembu, Sithebe; Figuareido, Sibanyoni, Ntsundwana.

Stellenbosch Form & Team News


Stellenbosch won their first six matches this season but two defeats have followed in the last seven fixtures.

In the league, a 3-0 home win over Cape Town City was followed by a 1-1 draw at Polokwane City. A 3-1 loss followed in the MTN8 final as a late refereeing howler cost them the match. 

Stellies responded with a 2-1 win in extra time at AmaZulu in the Carling Knockout Cup. On Wednesday, they went to Chippa United and won 2-0 in the league.

Coach Steve Barker has an injury doubt over striker Lehlohonolo Mojela. Ashley Cupido is set to lead the line in his place. 

Right back Enyinnaya Kazie Godswill is unavailable as he awaits his work permit.  

Stellenbosch Predicted Lineup


Stephens; Jurgens, Maloisane, Toure, Basadien; Adams, Nduli, Titus, De Jong, Barns; Cupido.

Verdict

I'm backing Stellies to win this match with a clean sheet.
