Richards Bay will play host to Kaizer Chiefs in the PSL on Sunday afternoon. The hosts are currently in 15th place in the league standings, while the visitors are eighth. It’s been a difficult season for Richards Bay, who are in danger of returning to the First Division unless they can find major improvements over the final knockings of the campaign. They are currently on just 17 points after 23 league games, which sees them occupy the sole relegation playoff spot, only five points above bottom club Cape Town Spurs. The Natal Rich Boys managed to trim the gap to safety to nine points in their last match, beating Moroka Swallows 1-0 at home. That result brought an end to a six-match winless streak that included five losses and a draw. This season at King Goodwill Zwelithini Stadium, Richards Bay have recorded three wins, three draws, and six losses in 12 matches. The hosts lost the reverse fixture 1-0 back in December and are the clear underdogs in this one.
Meanwhile, Kaizer Chiefs’s mixed form this season has cost them as they have now fallen into the mid-table of the league with 30 points, seven points behind Soweto rivals Orlando Pirates and the top three. They suffered their eighth defeat of the season last time out, losing 2-0 to Chippa United on the road. That result extended their recent winless run to four matches, including three losses and a draw. Of particular concern for AmaKhosi is that they failed to score in each of their last three matches, two of which were on the road. In their league matches away from home this season, Kaizer Chiefs have achieved three wins, three draws, and six losses. The team is striving to break a five-match winless streak on the road, during which they have posted three draws and suffered two losses. Their last away victory was in December 2023 against Polokwane City. Still, the visitors have won their last three games against this opponent and cannot be ruled out in this one.
