Mamelodi Sundowns vs Richards Bay: Prediction and odds on the Match on 27 September 2025

Mamelodi Sundowns will hope to bounce back from their recent defeat when they face Richards Bay at the Lucas Masterpieces Moripe Stadium on Saturday. The hosts have not lost at home this season and have won their last nine games against Richards Bay. Can they continue this run? Below is a match preview and well-analysed betting opportunities.

Mamelodi Sundowns: form and statistics

Mamelodi Sundowns suffered their first loss of the season against Golden Arrows in their last game. The Stylish Guys controlled the game from start to finish, but they failed to break their opponent's defence. Prior to this game, they were unbeaten in eight straight games, but they still have much motivation entering this game, with their home record still intact. They have won all three home games this season, conceding just one. So they have much to play for here. The Brazilians sit second on the table with 18 points in 9 games, having scored 13 goals and conceded 4.

Mamelodi Sundowns: Team News and Lineup

Mamelodi Sundowns will be all out to get back to winning ways, and I don’t think the loss was due to a tactical setup, but rather to fate. Regardless, I expect captain and goalkeeper Williams to continue in between the sticks in a 4-3-3 formation.

Mamelodi Sundowns Expected Lineup

Williams, Morena, Kekana, Cupido, Modiba, Mokoena, Allende Bravo, Lethlaku, Arthur Sales, Matthews, Rayners 

👤 Head coach: Miguel Cardoso

Richards Bay: form and statistics

Richards Bay continued their excellent run in the season with a 1-0 win over Magesi in their last game. Lindokuhle Zikhali scored the only goal of the game in the 76th minute. The Natal Rich Boys had started their season on the back of three straight losses, but things have changed for good for them, having remained unbeaten in their last five games in all competitions. They sit eight on the table with eleven points in eight games, having scored five goals and conceded five.

Mamelodi Sundowns vs Richards Bay match prediction, 27 September 2025

Richards Bay seem to be back on their feet with the way they played in their recent games, but playing against Mamelodi Sundowns brings a different level of challenge. The hosts have won all games at home this season and have not dropped a point against Richards Bay. They have been so dominating that they have only conceded in one of their last nine games together. So, I expect the hosts to continue this run and secure an easy win.
