Siwelele FC vs Richards Bay FC: Prediction for the Match on August 29, 2025

Siwelele FC vs Richards Bay FC: Prediction and odds on the Match on 29 August 2025

Siwelele FC will strive to end their terrible run of three consecutive losses when they face off against Natal Rich Boys at the DR Molemela Stadium on Friday. Both teams have been pretty disappointing since the league began, but we expect the hosts to get off to a flyer in front of their home supporters, even though it won’t come on a platter of Gold. 

Siwelele FC: form and statistics

Last four games: WLLL

The Siwelele Boys, who started their league campaign on a positive note, have now played three games without a breakthrough. Lehloonolo Seema’s men head here with a loss against TS Galaxy as they failed to find the back of the net yet again. The game began with the hosts asking lots of questions, and after twenty-two minutes (22), Mahlambi opened the scoreline. A few minutes later, Mahlambi scored the second of the game, giving the hosts a massive advantage at the break. Neither team could find the back of the net in the second half as TS Galaxy picked up their second win of the season. 

Siwelele FC have picked up three points in their last four matches, scoring three times and conceding five times. They have been pretty much terrible, and something has to change in this evenly contested game. 

Siwelele FC have won once and lost a game in their last two matches in front of their home supporters, scoring three and conceding twice. 

Siwelele FC Lineup

Lehloonolo Seema’s men have been pretty much terrible lately, in terms of converting their chances and defending. The front line have not lived up to expectations despite their experience in the Betway Premiership. Magidigidi has a lot to do in this fixture, and we expect the striker to get on the scoresheet if anything is going to happen. 

Siwelele FC's potential Starting Lineup (4-2-3-1)

Gross—Mobbie, Mkhwanzi, Ndebele, Rapoo—Mokhuoane, Moralo—Saile, Pule, Lungu—Magidigidi 

Head Coach: Lehloonolo Seema. 

Richards Bay FC: form and statistics

Last four matces: LLLW

Ronnie Gabriel’s men picked up their first win of the season after three consecutive losses. Richards Bay, who finished strongly last campaign, wrapping up their campaign in 8th spot for the first time in their history, have not been able to replicate such momentum this time. Against Chippa United, Richards Bay knew they couldn't afford to lose four consecutive matches, and after forty-five minutes of play, Gabadinho Mhango scored to give his side a first-half advantage. They defended well in the second as Chippa United were unable to get an equalizer. It ended in a (1-0) win for Richards Bay, who had previously lost (1-0) against Kaizer Chiefs on the road. 

Richards Bay accumulated three points from a combined twelve, scoring twice while conceding four goals. The Natal Rich Boys currently sit three places above the relegation zone, and they’ll be keen to get something away from this game. 

Richards Bay Lineup

Ronnie Gabriel’s men have not lived up to expectations this campaign, with just two goals scored; a lot has to change in their front line. They have not conceded more than a goal in their last three games, which is fair enough for them. 

Richards Bay Potential Starting Lineup (3-4-1-2)

Magoola—Zuke, Mcineka, Mabua—Vilakazi, Mthembu, Moses Mthembu, Khumalo—Neduli—Mahala, Mhango

Out: Thulani Gumede

Head Coach: Ronnie Gabriel

Siwelele FC vs Richards Bay FC: head to head statistics

Both teams have not faced off in the Betway Premiership before, but since Siwelele FC is a continuation of Supersport United, I expect an open game with goals at both ends.

Siwelele FC vs Richards Bay FC match prediction 29th August 2025

Richards Bay haven’t really improved from last season, considering their performance this season. They have struggled to express themselves in front of goal, but their defense hasn’t been that bad. 

On the contrary, Siwelele FC have been in terrible shape since the season began, failing to win any of their last three matches. It’s even more concerning that they have failed to score in three consecutive matches. 

Both teams have been below par this season, but I have a feeling Siwelele FC won’t lose three consecutive Betway Premiership games. Richards Bay have not conceded more than a goal across their last three matches; however, considering they won’t prioritize defence against the hosts, I expect goals to surface here. I’m backing Siwelele FC to return to winning ways, but I'm not sure they’ll be able to keep a cleansheet. 

My match prediction is for the Siwelele FC to win or draw and score more than a goal with a coefficient of 2.30 on the Betway bookmaker.

My betting tip on this match is a halftime stalemate with a coefficient of 1.80 on the 1xbet bookmaker.

My final betting tip on this game is a BTTS for a coefficient of 2.37 on the Bet365 bookmaker. 

Good luck!
