Richards Bay vs Golden Arrows Prediction: The visitors can pull a surprise stunt here

On Tuesday, Richards Bay will square off against Golden Arrows at the King Goodwill Zwelithini Stadium. A winner has emerged over their last two games, and we expect the same here.

The home side began their journey with a (2-0) defeat against a strong Supersport side. Richards Bay failed to get a shot on target despite dominating possession. Nothing has changed about the home side, who struggled throughout the game, allowing their opponents to get into their half several times. 

They had a rough season despite starting well as they escaped being relegated. Richards Bay had a run of fifteen games without a victory and survived relegation by three points. Richards Bay wrapped up their season in the 13th spot, losing thirteen while sharing the spoils nine times and winning eight games. 

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 Supersport.

Mabhuti Khenyaza men began their DSTV Premier League journey with a (1-1) stalemate against Moroka Swallows. After a boring half-time, Golden Arrows drew the first blood as Siyanda Mthanti found the back of the net minutes after the break. The visitors then responded with an equaliser in the 77th minute to split the points. Golden Arrows played well, and we think they deserved more than a point.

Golden Arrows will be motivated to go all out against their opponents, who have been shy in front of goal since their promotion last year. 

Over their last two games, the visiting team have always triumphed. Golden Arrows are always a tough team on the road, and with their opening game performance, they’ll give the home side a run for their money. Richards Bay continued from where they stopped last season, as there were no significant changes about them. They had only a shot against the home side, and we believe they’ll struggle against their opponent. Usually, this game is supposed to end in a share of the spoils, but the visitors have the tendency to secure the maximum points here; bet on an away win or draw and under 3.5 goals for 1.80.

We expect both sides to score less than a goal here for 2.51.

The visitors might pull a surprise stunt here for 3.07.

Good luck!
