Sekhukhune take on Richards Bay on Tuesday the 29th of October and with just 2 points separating these two sides on the log, it looks likely to be a close match. In this preview we look at the game from a betting angle.
Let’s start with a look at the PSL Outright Betting where the runaway favourite, Mamelodi Sundowns is trading at 1.10 (out from 1.05 last week this time) followed by Orlando Pirates in second place at 9.00 with Stellenbosch and Kaizer Chiefs both trading at 26.00. You can get 51.00 and better the rest of the teams.

Sekhukhune have had a good start to this season’s campaign, and they are in 7th place on the log after winning 2, drawing 1 and losing 1 of their 4 matches so far.
Their last match took place on Saturday the 26th of October, where they suffered their first loss of the season in a match on the road against Royal AM. Sekhukhune struggled to get into the game and create goal scoring opportunities, while at the same time showing weakness at the back. This led to Royal AM scoring 2 unanswered goals, with the scoreline showing a 2-0 loss for Sekhukhune when the final whistle blew.
Richards Bay looked promising in their first match, but they have struggled since then, losing 2 and drawing 2 of their last 4 gamesand they sit in 11th place on the table.
Their most recent fixture was held at home on Saturday the 26th of October when they went head-to-head with Stellenbosch. Despite Richards Bay being the slight underdogs on the day, they defended well ensuring Stellenbosch could not score, however, they were unable to find the back of the net either, resulting in a 0-0 draw at full time.
Head-to-Head
These sides met twice last season, where the first match played in front of a Richards Bay crowd, was evenly matched and ended in a 1-1 draw. The second match saw Sekhukhune host Richards Bay in a high scoring but relatively one-sided match that was won 3-1 by Sekhukhune.
These sides met most recently in the Carling Knockout 2024 and there was only one unanswered goal scored throughout the game by Richards Bay, who claimed a 1-0 home victory.

Richards Bay 4.00
VERDICT
I believe that just like in the recent match in the Carling Knockout 2024, this match will be a low scoring affair but this time around Sekhukhune will come out on top.
