Richards Bay vs Cape Town City Predictions


Not many goals are expected in this match. I don’t see both sides scoring and City are my tip to reach the semi-finals with a narrow 1-0 win.

Head to Head


Cape Town City hold a 3-1 advantage across four previous meetings.

When the sides met in May, City were 3-1 winners at home. 

Richards Bay Form & Team News


Richards Bay’s last ten matches have yielded just two defeats. Their last six matches have seen just one win and one goal scored.

After a 0-0 draw at Royal AM, they conceded late in a 1-0 home loss to Orlando Pirates. The Rich Boyz progressed in the Carling Knockout Cup after winning 1-0 at home to Sekhukhune United.

A steady 0-0 home draw was followed by a disappointing 2-0 loss at Sekhukhune United in midweek.

Coach Brandon Truter is without striker Yamela Mbuthuma due to suspension. Thabang Sibanyoni could lead the line in his place.

Siyethemba Sithebe could be recalled. Ian Otieno is set to start in goal ahead of Salim Magoola.

Richards Bay Predicted Lineup


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

Cape Town City Form & Team News


City have been struggling in away matches but two recent home wins relieved some pressure after a poor start. 

A 3-0 loss away vs Stellenbosch preceded successive home victories, 1-0 vs SuperSport and 3-0 vs Royal AM in the Carling Knockout Cup.

A 0-0 home draw vs Magesi was a poor result. In midweek, they were thoroughly outclassed in a 3-0 defeat away at Mamelodi Sundowns. 

Aprocious Petrus is suspended in midfield after his red card against Sundowns. Tshegofatso Nyama is available after a ban. 

Coach Eric Tinkler is set to recall Jaeden Rhodes and Darwin Gonzalez in the wide areas.

Cape Town City Predicted Lineup


Keet; Mkhize, Gordinho, Cupido, Nyama; Mokotjo, Amato; Rhodes, Domingo, Darwin Gonzalez; Soukhouna.

Verdict

I don't see both sides scoring in this match. City are backed to edge the tie in 90 minutes.
