SUNDAY:
TS Galaxy vs Richards Bay – click here to bet
TS Galaxy are currently 12th on the table with 25 points from 24 matches. They have recorded seven wins, four draws and suffered thirteen defeats, scoring 25 goals while conceding 33 which highlights a side that has struggled for consistency, particularly at the back.
Their recent form has been poor. Galaxy suffered a 2-0 defeat away to Kaizer Chiefs in their latest outing after losing 2-1 at home to Polokwane City and prior to that they were heavily beaten 6-0 by Orlando Pirates.
Richards Bay sit 11th on the standings with 27 points from 24 games played. They have managed six wins, nine draws and settled for nine defeats, producing 20 goals while allowing 27 to reflect a lineup that has been competitive but lacks attacking firepower.
They come into this clash in improved form. Richards Bay held Orlando Pirates to a 2-2 draw in their most recent trip to the pitch after securing a 2-1 home victory over Stellenbosch, although they were beaten 1-0 by Durban City before that and had lost a few games in a row.
Head-to-Head:
Recent meetings between the sides have been closely contested. The reverse fixture earlier this season ended in a 1-1 draw, while Richards Bay have won two of the last three completed encounters, picking up 1-0 scorelines in both of their clashes last season.
Odds: TS Galaxy 2.60 | Draw 3.00 | Richards Bay 3.25
Verdict:
This looks set to be a tight encounter between two sides struggling for consistency. TS Galaxy have home advantage but are in poor form while Richards Bay have shown resilience in recent matches. I am expecting little separation between the sides in a match I am betting will end in a draw.
Bet: Draw at 3.00

Magesi vs Durban City – click here to bet
Magesi remain bottom of the table in 16th position with 17 points after 24 fixtures having claimed only three wins, eight draws and thirteen defeats while netting 17 goals and letting 35 past their keeper, underlining their struggles at both ends of the pitch.
Their recent form has been mixed. They were beaten 4-1 at home by Kaizer Chiefs the last time they played after losing 1-0 to Sekhukhune, although they did secure a 3-0 victory over Marumo Gallants prior to that.
Durban City occupy 6th position overall with 35 points from 24 matches. They have secured ten wins, five draws and nine defeats, producing 20 goals while slipping 17 at the back, reflective of a side that is well-organised defensively but not overly prolific in attack.
Coming into this clash, Durban City have shown signs of falling away after a strong start to the season. They suffered a 1-0 defeat to Golden Arrows in their latest outing after losing by the same scoreline to Mamelodi Sundowns, although they did record a 1-0 victory over Richards Bay roughly a month ago.
Head-to-Head:
Durban City have had the better of this matchup, winning two of the last three encounters, including a 3-1 victory earlier this season and a 2-0 triumph on the road when they met back in 2024 in the Motsepe Foundation Championship.
Odds: Magesi 2.60 | Draw 3.00 | Durban City 3.25
Verdict:
Magesi have struggled for momentum throughout the campaign and continue to concede too easily. Durban City appear the more structured side and should have enough quality to edge this contest and they look solid value for money at current prices.
Bet: Durban City to Win at 3.25
