Last five games: DDWWL

After five games without a loss, Natal Rich Boys suffered a heavy defeat against the defending champions. Ronnie Gabriel’s men were one of the most consistent teams in recent weeks, until their loss against Mamelodi Sundowns. Richards Bay conceded twice in the game, as they were overwhelmed by their opponent. However, Mhango responded once to give his side a lifeline. They conceded a goal later at halftime and let in another goal after the break. It ended in a (4-1) loss against Mamelodi Sundowns, although Richards Bay never stopped fighting despite playing against the best side in the Betway Premiership. 

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

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

Last five matches: LLDWL

After back-to-back games without a loss, ORBIT College FC bowed to another loss in the Betway Premiership. ORBIT College FC were tactically defeated against the high-flying Golden Arrows on the road. After twenty-four minutes of play, ORBIT College FC conceded two goals and let in another goal in the second half. The guests who marched into the game with a positive result against Polokwane City and Marumo Gallants failed to impress away from home. 

The newly promoted Maw Eko Boys are currently struggling to adapt in the Betway Premiership, and are a point above the relegation spot.

Unfortunately, Pogiso Makhoye’s men have secured seven points in their last nine Betway Premiership games, scoring five and conceding seventeen. 

ORBIT College FC have failed to win any of their last four games on the road. 

ORBIT College FC Lineup

Pogiso Makhoye’s men lack the quality to compete in the apex league, and it’s looking like they won’t survive in this competitive league. No injury concerns ahead of their clash against Polokwane City. 

ORBIT College City FC Starting Eleven (4-4-2)

Nkomo—Mhkabela, Thulani Jingana, Mokgosi, Thabang Nhlapo—Moleleki, Batsi, Khoto, Thinedi— Wagaba, Saleng

Richards Bay FC vs ORBIT College FC match prediction, 17 October 2025

Richards Bay have improved massively lately, although they head here after their loss against Mamelodi Sundowns on the road. They were totally outmuscled by the defending champions, and they’ll strive to bounce back later tomorrow. On the other hand, ORBIT College FC suffered another loss away from home, this time against Golden Arrows. They let in three goals and couldn’t find the back of the net. 

Richards Bay head here with a success in the Carling Cup, recovering from their loss in the competition. They are well motivated for this encounter, and with no injury concerns, Richards Bay will exert dominance over their guests. The guests are still struggling to get it right on the road, especially losing four consecutive matches away from their ground. Richards Bay are extremely decent in front of their home supporters, and the guests stand no chance this time.

My match prediction is for Richards Bay FC to win or draw and score more than a goal with a coefficient of 1.86 on the Betway bookmaker.

My betting tip on this match is a home win with a coefficient of 2.06 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!
