Kaizer Chiefs vs Richards Bay Prediction: The host team can’t afford to drop points on their ground

Kaizer Chiefs will face off against Richards Bay at the FNB Stadium on Saturday. The Amakhosi will strive for three consecutive victories for the first time since April as they hope to defeat Richards Bay on their own turf tomorrow.

Last five games: LWLWW

The Amakhosi secured a back-to-back victory for just the second time this season, defeating Moroka Swallows and Polokwane City. The Amakhosi were lucky to have walked away with the maximum points on the road as the hosts hit the post once. 

Cavin Johnson's men have managed six wins, two stalemates, and six defeats this season. Kaizer Chiefs have won three, lost twice and drawn two games at home this season. 

Last five games: LLWDL

The visitors head here without a win in three games, losing twice and sharing the spoils once. Richards Bay responded twice even though they were on the losing end. Five goals were scored just before the break, which was enough for Royal AM to amass the maximum points. Richards Bay are one of the sides that have conceded the most goals this season, heading here with a win in six games.

They are still in the relegation zone and have picked up ten points from a combined forty-two points. 

Over their previous three meetings, Kaizer Chiefs have won twice, while Richards Bay have recorded a win. Kaizer Chiefs head here after their slim (0-1) victory on the road against Polokwane City as they keep grinding out results. On the opposing end, Richards Bay have been uninspiring in recent weeks and we think they’ll struggle against the hosts. The Amakhosi can’t afford to lose here as teams gear up for a long holiday when the AFCON Tournament starts next month. We expect the hosts to win for 1.80.

We think the hosts will be defensive conscious before the break, the same as the visitors: bet on halftime draw for 1.84

We expect less than a goal in both halves for 1.76.

Good luck!
