Amazulu vs Richards Bay Prediction: Can the home team get their first three points here

Amazulu will strive for their first three points this season when they host Richards Bay at the King Zwelethini Stadium on Saturday. Amazulu are yet to record a win over Richards Bay before; however, they stand a better chance here considering their opponent's form.

Pablo Franco's men are yet to win or get a goal over their last two matches. Amazulu head here following their (0-0) stalemate against Supersport despite being a man down. Their game plan changed when Thembela Sikhakhane were shown a red card forty minutes into their game, and Amazulu had to defend.

Amazulu are having difficulties converting their chances, the same problem they faced last season. Pablo Franco's men will be poised to get it right this time, and we are backing them to get a goal here.

The home side began their journey with a (2-0) defeat against a strong Supersport side. Richards Bay lost their second consecutive game, losing their first game at home. Golden Arrows scored first before the break, and Richards Bay leveled in the 86th minute. Richards Bay lost focus and were punished two minutes after their goal.

Richards Bay's highest goal scorer last season, Sanele Barns, had just four goals which hindered their chances of challenging for the top. They are yet to provide solutions to their porous attack, and it’ll be interesting to see how they react after their defeat against Golden Arrows.

Richards Bay have won once and drawn a game over their last two meetings. Amazulu have not found the back of the net this season, and it’s a huge concern heading here. On the contrary, Richards Bay have been terrible at the back, conceding four goals in their last two games. Despite their excellent record against Amazulu, we believe the home side will finally get the maximum points here for 2.30.

Amazulu were not consistent last season, and there were some games where they won by significant margins; we expect them to outmuscle their opponent here.

We don’t expect both sides to get a goal here 1.61.

Good luck!
