Richards Bay come into this fixture sitting 9th on the table with 18 points from 15 matches following a fairly inconsistent first half of their campaign. They have recorded four wins, six draws and suffered five defeats so far in the league and hold a goal difference of -2.
Their recent form has been steady having gone five matches unbeaten. They played out a 1-1 home draw with Siwelele last time out and prior to that picked up a 2-0 home win against AmaZulu. Richards Bay have been difficult to break down in recent weeks, but their lack of cutting edge in front of goal has limited their ability to turn draws into wins.
Golden Arrows occupy 11th spot on the standings with 16 points from 15 outings. They have managed five wins, one draw and settled for nine defeats which puts them in the bottom half of the log after a challenging run of results.
Arrows’ recent form has been poor having lost four fixtures in a row. They were beaten 1-0 away to Kaizer Chiefs in their most recent test which took place just over a week ago. Defensive fragility and inconsistency have been key issues with 20 goals conceded so far this season although they have netted 19 of their own.
Head-to-Head:
Their most recent meeting in August 2025 ended in a 1-0 home win for Golden Arrows. Matchups between the sides have generally been competitive with Richards Bay winning 1-0 away in December 2024 and the reverse fixture in May 2025 finished in a 0-0 draw.
Odds: Richards Bay 2.05 | Draw 2.90 | Golden Arrows 4.75
Verdict:
Richards Bay have been difficult to beat of late and are showing signs of improved defensive organisation, while Golden Arrows continue to struggle for consistency and confidence. Although Arrows have enjoyed some success in this fixture historically, Richards Bay look the more reliable side. With both teams lacking attacking fluency, I am expecting a tight and low-scoring contest.
Bet: Richards Bay to Win and Under 2.5 Goals at 3.25
For the more conservative punter consider Richards Bay to win the match at 2.05
