Richards Bay FC and Kaizer Chiefs have announced their starting line-ups for this afternoon’s DStv Premiership encounter at King Zwelithini stadium.
Natal Richboyz’s wheels seem to go off as they’ve failed to win in their last five matches. The KwaZulu Natal-based side is sitting fourth on the table.
Things are not looking good for them but what they did right was to collect points in the early stages of the season so that could ease the pressure on them.
The last time they won an official game was back in January when they beat relegation-threatened side Marumo Gallants.
The newcomers are coming to this game as underdogs especially after losing to 10-man Amakhosi seven months ago.
Chiefs without any doubts have their tails up following completing a double over their arch-rivals Orlando Pirates last week. Amakhosi have a massive chance to go third if they manage to beat Bay.
Arthur Zwane’s side have lost their recent fixtures against KZN outfits – losing against AmaZulu in a 4-0 drubbing, then went on to lose in a five-goal thriller against Lamontville Golden Arrows.
Despite the recent history and the records, Ephefeni Glamour boys are coming to this game as favorites.
Here is how they line up:
Richards Bay:
Magoola, Maphate, Mabua, Nyauza, Msani; Motolo, Barns, Mabaso, Mbuthuma; Mhlongo, Ntsundwana.
Subs: Boschoff, Mthembu, Hlongwa, Mthethwa, Makateng, Majadibodou, Memela, Shabalala, Ochieng.
Kaizer Chiefs XI:
Petersen, Ngezana, Kwinika, Dove, Hlanti; Sithebe, Maart, Dolly, Shabalala, Saile, Bimenyimana.
Subs: Khune, Ngcobo, Dube, Mashiane, Mahlatsi, Radebe, Sekgota, Zwane, Duba.
