Richards Bay vs TS Galaxy Prediction: Can the hosts get off to a flying start?

After surviving relegation last season, Richards Bay will square off against TS Galaxy at the King Goodwill Zwelithini Stadium on Sunday. Both teams had their ups and downs in the previous season, and they’ll be keen to do better this time. 

The Natal Rich Boys head into the new season after fighting their way through the playoffs. With the hope of remaining in the league. Richards Bay wrapped up their league campaign in 15th place, seven points above the relegation zone. 

The hosts have appointed a former Sekhukhune United coach to lead them this campaign, letting go of the coach that won them promotion. 

Richards Bay were terrible on their ground last season, and they must adjust to avoid struggling just last the previous campaign.

The Rockets could have secured a spot in this season's CAF Confederation Cup but failed after winning just one of their last seven league games. TS Galaxy played some fantastic football last season, but mostly on their ground. TS Galaxy play one of the best football in the league but lacks the ability to convert most of their chances.

They have sold two of their key players, but they still look good on paper, especially after keeping their decent coach, Sead Ramovic. 

The last eight meetings have ended in a win for Richards Bay and five stalemates, while TS Galaxy have also recorded two victories. Richards Bay haven’t really strengthened their squad, and we anticipate another struggling season for them. At the same time, the guests have also lost some good players but have replaced them with the same quality. 

Richards Bay won’t have a smooth sail on their ground, and we think the guests are the closest to securing all the points.

We also believe this game will produce less than a goal.

Both teams might settle for a halftime stalemate here for 1.96.

Good luck!
