Richards Bay and Kaizer Chiefs confirmed their starting line-ups for today’s Betway Premiership clash at Princess Magogo Stadium.
Richards Bay has had difficulties when it comes to home venue for their game, but managed to get Princess Magogo Stadium ready for this highly-anticipated clash.
The Natal Rich boys haven’t won a game this season after opening with 2-1 loss to Polokwane City before back-to-back draws with Chippa United and Durban City.
Meanwhile, Amakhosi had a positive start into the season collecting seven points out of the nine they played for.
Chiefs will aim to draw inspiration from the 1-1 draw against African champions Mamelodi Sundowns a week ago, and could dethrone rivals Orlando Pirates at the top of the log with a comfortable win by three goals.
Bay enjoy a good home record when they play Chiefs, as they have won all of their last three matches in KZN against Amakhosi. The last time they lost to them was in March 2023.
Here is how they line up:
Richards Bay XI: Otieno, Mcineka, Ndelu, Sikhakhane, Mabuya, Mntungwa, Nashixwa, Mthembu, Khumalo, Gumede, Xulu
Subs: Mtshali, Simelane, Shezi, Zikhali, Mbambo, Nzama, Ndelu, Barns, Mahala
Chiefs XI: Petersen, Monyane, Miguel, Kwinika, Moloisane, Maboe, Ndlovu, Shabalala, Mmodi, Vilakazi, Baartman
Subs: Leaner, Solomons, Frosler, Mthethwa, Mtasingwa, Duba, Ighodaro, Velebayi, Abrahams
