Royal AM FC vs Richards Bay Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier Soccer League
by Devesh Jaganath | in Premier Soccer League Predictions
A crucial bottom-of-the-table clash in the PSL this weekend will see Royal AM taking on Richards Bay on Sunday afternoon. The hosts are currently in 14th place in the league standings, while the visitors are one spot below them. Royal AM come into this match following an important 2-1 win over Cape Town Spurs in their last outing. That was their fourth victory in 12 games this season and saw them open the gap between themselves and the bottom two to four points. They also have a game in hand on most of the sides around them. Notably, the hosts have played only five home games this season compared to seven on the road. On home soil, they have managed seven points in five games, with their last match ending in a 1-0 win over Golden Arrows before the November international break. Thwihli Thwahla’s major issue this season has been in defence. They have already conceded 17 goals, which is the second-most in the league behind bottom club Cape Town Spurs.
Meanwhile, Richards Bay saw their Carling Knockout Cup campaign come to an end in the final four last weekend. They were defeated 3-0 by Stellies, marking their second consecutive match without scoring. Richards Bay returned from the international break with a 0-0 draw against Orlando Pirates, which took them to ten points after 13 matches, leaving them seven points above Cape Town Spurs but still in the relegation playoff spot. In contrast to their opponents, The Natal Rich Boys have played eight home games and just five away matches this season. On the road, they have taken five points from a possible 15 with a record of one win, two draws and two losses. The visitors are the lowest-scoring team in the league this season, with just eight goals in 13 games. They have not scored twice in a league match as yet this season. However, they are unbeaten in their last four against this opponent and a win here could see them cut the gap to just one point to the Royals.
