The Citizens were stunned on the road by Marumo Gallants as they couldn’t maintain their momentum.

Expert Betting Tips
Cape Town City were below par in their recent game against Marumo Gallants on the road, especially after winning back-to-back games against Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates. They have been accused of playing well against top teams and putting in little effort when they match up against small teams.
The Citizens can’t afford to lose back-to-back games, and I expect them to bounce back against Richards Bay, who have managed one win on the road in ten away matches; bet on a home win for 1.93 at (Bet365).
Both teams have struggled to score goals lately, and I think this particular game might produce just a goal: bet on a total of under 1.5 goals for 2.25 at (1xbet).
Cape Town City have a strong team and a decent coach, and hopefully, they’ll start strong and get a goal before the break for 2.08 at (Betway).
Good luck!
