Richards Bay vs Sekhukhune United Prediction: Sekhukhune will take advantage of the home side

When the two teams meet on Wednesday afternoon at the King Zwelithini Stadium, Sekhukhune United will go into the game with the intention of making Richards Bay FC's situation even worse. The host squad had just suffered a defeat at the hands of Mamelodi Sundowns the week before, while the away team had just qualified for the CAF Confederation Cup through Workover, defeating the Young Buffaloes in the process.

The home team is off to a rough start this season under their new head coach, Kaitano Tembo, and after four games, they are currently ranked 15th with zero wins to their name. In the meantime, after suffering another 0-1 defeat against Mamelodi Sundowns in their most recent Premier Division match, Richards Bay will be hoping to have better luck this time around. During that game, Richards Bay held 32 percent of the possession and had 12 shots on goal, with three of them finding the target. Mamelodi Sundowns had a total of 16 shots on goal, but only three of them were successful. In recent games, Richards Bay has failed to take advantage of any of their opportunities. Over the course of their last six matches, they have only managed to score one goal against the teams that they have faced. However, during those matches, Richards Bay conceded a total of seven goals.

In their most recent game, Sekhukhune United defeated Cape Town City by a score of 0-1 to earn a win in the Premier Division.During that match, Sekhukhune United had 31% of the ball and 8 shots on goal, with only 2 of those shots finding the target. There were 16 shots on goal for Cape Town City, but only two of them were on target. Sekhukhune United have scored a combined seven goals throughout the course of their most recent half-dozen matches. Additionally, Sekhukhune United have found the back of the net in each and every one of those contests. During the course of those matches, their defenders have allowed their opponents to score five goals against them. Meanwhile, the visiting team is doing very well under the direction of Brandon Truter. They are now in sixth place and appear to be in a good position to increase their point total with a victory tonight.

Only four games have been played between Richards Bay and Sekhukhune United in their club history, with one win for Sekhukhune United and two wins in favor of Richards Bay. In one of the matches, the score ended 2-2. Richards Bay's record stands at 1 win, while Sekhukhune United's record is 1 win. In the head-to-head matchups, Richards Bay was only able to score four goals, while Sekhukhune United scored four.

In what looks to be a very close contest between the two teams, my gut tells me that it is possible for both Sekhukhune United and Richards Bay to end up finding the back of the net, taking a clue from their previous meetings. As a result, I am forecasting a very close game that will end in a draw with a score of 1-1 after the full 90 minutes have passed.
