AmaZulu vs Richards Bay Prediction: The home team will bounce back to winning ways

In round 25 of the South Africa Premier League, AmaZulu will play Richards Bay at King Zwelithini Stadium. The two teams faced defeat in their last league game and will hope for a win here. How will this game unfold? Below, I preview this game and offer predictions.

AmaZulu

AmaZulu played Chippa United in their last league game and suffered a defeat. In a shocking 2-1 contest, AmaZulu conceded twice within the first 36 minutes of the game, with Craig Martin and Enock Sakala netting for their opponent. However, despite Tshepang Moremi pulling one back before the break for AmaZulu, this team could not force a draw in the remaining minutes of the game. Ahead of this fixture, AmaZulu have lost their last three matches and failed to win their last four. In that run, AmaZulu drew Supersport United while losing to Mamelodi Sundowns and TS Galaxy. With 30 points from 24 matches played this season, AmaZulu sit 7th in the standings with 27 goals scored and 32 conceded.

Richards Bay

Richards Bay played Polokwane in their last league game and lost. In a 3-1 contest, Richards Bay went behind before the break, but Justice Figuareido's strike levelled the score in the 52nd minute. However, goals from Mokibelo Ramabu and Lebohang Nkaki in the final minutes of the game denied this team a point at full time. In the meantime, that defeat was Richards Bay’s second in their last three matches, with the first against Magesi. Away from home, Richards Bay have struggled with zero victories in their last five matches. With 24 points, Richards Bay sit 13th in the standings with 15 goals scored and 22 conceded.

AmaZulu have been the better team this season, and it can not be written off what we can expect from them. However, despite recent struggles, Richards Bay have been a bit better over the past weeks. Yet, on the road, it is tough to trust Richards Bay, even though they have been a tough side for the hosts over the past years. While we might witness another entertaining fixture like the first leg, I do not see Richards Bay stopping AmaZulu from bouncing back to winning ways after a number of losing streaks.
