Richards Bay vs AmaZulu Prediction: Bottom spots fixture will be entertaining

In the South Africa Premier League, Richards Bay will play AmaZulu in round seven matches at King Zwelithini Stadium. The two teams occupy the last two spots in the standings and will hope to improve their game. Let’s preview this game and make predictions. 

Richards Bay played Kaizer Chiefs the previous time out and lost, a game that ended 2-1. In that game, Richards Bay conceded in each half, with Wandile Duba and Ashley Du Preez netting for their opponent. However, finding the back of the net through Yanela Mbuthuma’s strike before full time, Richards Bay could only take a consolation goal at full time. Heading into this game, Richards Bay have lost four of their last league games, while their best result was a win over Cape Town City in the Carling Cup. 

AmaZulu secured their first win of the season against Chippa United the previous time out and will hope for a similar result. In a game that ended 2-0, Hendrick Ekstein and Celimpilo Ngema's strikes were enough to seal maximum points for the road team. However, AmaZulu lost four of their last five games against Kaizer Chiefs, Marumo Gallants, Stellenbosch and Orlando Pirates. AmaZulu have three points from a possible fifteen this season, positioning them bottom of the standings.  

The South Africa Premier League game between Richards Bay and AmaZulu will take place at King Zwelithini Stadium. The two teams have been woeful this season and will come all out, hoping to take maximum points. This is an open game, and either side has a good chance of winning. At home, Richards Bay are well favoured, and it is understandable. However, AmaZulu interests me in this fixture, as I believe they have what it takes to build on their last win against Richards Bay. Also, with both teams struggling offensively, a bet on a few goals is another option.
