Cape Town Spurs vs Richards Bay Prediction: Bottom league contest will be competitive

South Africa Premier League encounter between Cape Town Spurs and Richards Bay will take place at Athlone Stadium. Going into this game, these two teams are the weakest in the SPL. Will this game have a winner, or will a draw satisfy both sides?

Cape Town Spurs

Cape Town Spurs have struggled in the South Africa Premier League this season, and their chance of remaining in the top flight next season looks impossible. Heading into this game, Cape Town Spurs lost their last league game to Sekhukhune, losing in a 0-1 encounter. However, Cape Town Spurs have lost their last four league games, with prior ones coming against Swallows, Chippa United and Mamelodi Sundowns. Cape Town Spurs have not scored a single goal in their last four league games. Cape Town Spurs are seated 16th in the league standings with 14 points adrift of safety, having accumulated just 12 points this season from 24 matches.

Richards Bay

Richards Bay will hope for some luck against a weaker team than them as they continue to fight relegation. Last time out, Richards Bay played Kaizer Chiefs, and they ended on the winning end in a 1-0 encounter. However, that is their second consecutive win, with the first being a 1-0 encounter against Swallows. This season, Richards Bay have accumulated 20 points from a possible 72. Into this game, Richards Bay are six points adrift of safety, and a win here could take them close to being relegated.

Expert Betting Tips

This match should be a low-scoring encounter. Both sides have been weak in offense recently, and the previous meetings between them also ended in few goals. However, Richards Bay looked motivated in the last matches, and they come here hoping to avoid relegation. Having won their last two league games, I think they are in a good position to win here, with just 6 league games left to be played this season.
