After four consecutive defeats and ten games without a breakthrough, the Natal Rich Boys secured all the points on the road against Golden Arrows. They could do that by denying their opponent a shot at goal while converting one of their six shots at goal. Lindokuhle Zikhali scored the only goal that secured his side all the points against a solid opponent. This was after their (0-1) loss on their home turf against Supersports United. 

Richards Bay have been terrible this season and have conceded four times in their last three league games. 

Richards Bay, who appointed a former Sekhukhune United coach to lead them this campaign, have parted ways with the tactician after a bad run. 

Richards Bay have been terrible on their ground, winning once in five home games. 

Mamelodi Sundowns (1st)

Last five games: WWWWW

Since the arrival of their Portuguese coach, Mamelodi Sundowns have won three consecutive games, keeping clean sheets in all. However, it hasn’t been rosy for the Brazilians, who used to score for fun as they have found the back of the net three times in three matches. It seems Miguel Cardoso has prioritised defence over attack since his appointment. 

Miguel Cardoso's men have won nine and lost once in nine league games, scoring twenty and conceding four. At this stage last season, the Brazilians were unbeaten in the league; however, they have already lost four times in all competitions. 

Mamelodi Sundowns have won three and lost a game over their last four league matches on the road. 

Expert Betting Tips

Mamelodi Sundowns have won six consecutive matches against Richards Bay over their last six meetings. Normalcy returned for Richards Bay last week, as they recorded a win after nine games without a breakthrough in the league. They’ll approach this game with great enthusiasm; however, they lack the manpower to compete against the Brazilians. Richards Bay will set up a low block against Mamelodi Sundowns and try to hit them on the counter. It might not work this time as Mamelodi Sundowns have been solid defensively, and they’ll definitely secure all the points here; bet on the away team to score before the break for 1.70.

This meeting have produced less than two goals over their last four league meetings, and I think the Brazilians will win and score a total of under 3.5 goals for 1.88.

.A correct score of (0-2) might surface here for 4.60.

Good luck!
