Richards Bay FC vs Magesi FC: Prediction and odds on the Match on 24 September 2025

Magesi FC will strive to secure a back-to-back win for the first time since July when they face off against Natal Rich Boys at the UMhlathuze Stadium on Wednesday. Both teams match into this encounter after their convincing victory, and they’ll be pleased with a point apiece in this evenly contested game.

Last five games: LWDDW

Ronnie Gabriel’s men have been one of the most consistent teams in recent weeks, marching here without a loss across their previous four matches. Richards Bay picked up their second win of the season, defeating Stellenbosch away from home. The game began with Richards Bat struggling to get into the game, and after forty-three minutes of dominance from their opponent, Siyabonga Nzama broke the deadlock. Knowing full well what Stellenbosch are capable of doing, Richards Bay set up defensively from the start of the second half. They defended as a team and denied Stellenbosch several attempts at their own box. The (1-0) victory over Stellenbosch ended their run of back-to-back stalemates against TS Galaxy and Siwelele FC. 

Richards Bay accumulated eight points from a combined twenty-one, scoring four while conceding five goals. The Natal Rich Boys are back in tenth place, four points above the relegation zone, and they’ll be keen to get something away from this game. 

Richards Bay have won once, drawn a game, and lost a match across their previous three home games.

Ronnie Gabriel’s men have conceded just once across their last four games. They have been pretty decent at the back, and even though Ngema was subbed off after twenty-three minutes of play against Stellenbosch, they never lost their juice.

The Blue Nation ended their run of ten consecutive Betway Premiership without a breakthrough. Magesi FC have been striving to halt their terrible run in the league, and finally, they got their way against a struggling Siwelele FC. The home side started strong but were dealt a blow when defender Makgoga was substituted in the twenty-third minute. Magesi FC was blessed when Siwelele FC were reduced to ten men in the 36th minute. Magesi FC took advantage just before the break as Abrahams found the back of the net. In the 72nd minute, the Blue Nation scored their second goal to amass all the points. 

It was a decent performance from Magesi FC, who have now registered a win across their last six games this campaign. Before then, Magesi lost to Mamelodi Sundowns and settled for a share of the spoils against Amazulu FC on their home ground.. 

Magesi FC are yet to win a game in their last nine Betway Premiership games on the road.

Richards Bay FC vs Magesi FC match prediction, 24 September 2025

Magesi FC have not been bad this season, but they have been unlucky with their fixtures. Recently, they ended their run of ten games without a breakthrough, defeating a struggling Siwelele FC. Even though their opponents were weak, they deserved some accolades. Meanwhile, Richards Bay continue to impress, playing four games without a loss. 

Richards Bay on their home ground is extremely calculative, and that’s the space where they play their best games. The guests hardly perform well away from home, and it will be difficult for them against a more consistent and aggressive Richards Bay. 

Richards Bay are definitely going to be at their best, and I expect them to amass all the points on their home ground. 

My match prediction is for Richards Bay FC to win or draw and score less than a goal with a coefficient of 1.70 on the Betway bookmaker.

My betting tip on this match is a home win with a coefficient of 2.46 on the 1xbet bookmaker.

My final betting tip on this game is a BTTS No for a coefficient of 1.60 on the Bet365 bookmaker. 

Good luck!
