Supersport United vs Richards Bay Prediction 24 May 2025

Supersport United have had much luck in this fixture lately, and they will now hope they can find luck in this one. Yet, looking at how poor they have been in recent encounters, I feel they will need more than luck to win here, having now struggled in defense in their recent matches. On the other hand, Richards Bay have been inconsistent but only lost once in their last four games which put them in a good position. At home, Supersport United will definitely prioritize solid defensive play while also being clinical in the final third. Therefore, with Richards Bay struggling away from home, I will back Supersport United to win this game with just one goal.
