Richards Bay vs Royal AM FC Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier Soccer League
by Devesh Jaganath in Premier Soccer League Predictions
Richards Bay and Royal AM will face off in a crucial bottom-of-the-table battle in the PSL on Sunday afternoon. The hosts are in 15th place in the league standings, while the visitors are 14th. After avoiding relegation by just four points last term, Richards Bay look as though they are going to struggle to beat the drop again this season. They are currently on just 13 points after 17 league games and are in the sole relegation playoff spot, six points from safety. The Natal Rich Boys will come into this match with some confidence after managing a 3-2 win over Polokwane City in the Nedbank Cup last week. However, they will need to bring the same type of fighting spirit to the league, where they have only won one of their last five games while drawing one and losing three. Richards Bay have had a mixed record at King Goodwill Zwelithini Stadium this season, with two wins, two draws, and five losses in nine PSL contests, though they are currently enjoying a three-match home unbeaten streak.
Meanwhile, Royal AM’s Nedbank Cup journey came to an end last week when they were beaten 1-0 by Amazulu on the road. That result marked their fourth consecutive match without a victory (W0 D2 L2) and was also their fourth game failing to score. In league terms, Thwihli Thwahla are on 19 points, six points above the relegation zone, though they do have a game in hand on the sides around them in the league standings. Their last outing ended in a stalemate at home to Kaizer Chiefs, extending their winless run to three games. In league matches away from home this season, Royal AM have recorded two wins, one draw, and five losses. They have won just one and lost four of their last five games on the road. While the hosts are the favourites in this match, Royal AM did win the reverse fixture 3-2 back in December and cannot be ruled out of this contest.

Our Richards Bay vs Royal AM FC Prediction
With two of the bottom three sides in the league facing off here, it’s difficult to get behind either side owing to their inconsistency. However, both will feel that this is definitely a match they can pick up a valuable three points in and are likely to throw caution to the wind in search of victory. Therefore, we’re expecting loads of chances at both ends and, potentially, a couple of goals as well. Our Richards Bay vs Royal AM prediction: Over 1.5.
