Kaizer Chiefs vs Richards Bay stats and predictions
As it stands, Kaizer Chiefs are sixth on the PSL table. They've accumulated 20 points from 14 league games so far. Interestingly, this is twice as many points as Richards Bay have amassed this season. The visitors currently occupy the relegation playoff spot, having won just two of 14 PSL matches. On that note, these are our Kaizer Chiefs vs Richards Bay predictions:
Prediction 1: Kaizer Chiefs to win
We have not been impressed by Richards Bay's record so far. They have just two wins in 14 league matches, with four draws and eight losses. Although Kaizer Chiefs aren't particularly enjoying their best PSL campaign at the moment, they've fared a lot better than their opponents.
Interestingly, while Kaizer Chiefs won three of their last four matches, Richards Bay are currently on a three-match winless run. Taking into account that Kaizer Chiefs came out on top the last two times these teams clashed, we are fairly confident that Amakhosi will take all three points from this match.
Prediction 2: One of these teams will not score
For our second Kaizer Chiefs vs Richards Bay prediction, let's take a look at the BTTS market. We would like to point out that Kaizer Chiefs are coming off back-to-back wins, where they conceded no goals. Bearing that in mind, at least one team blanked in their last three matches.
In the same vein, both teams managed to score in just one of Richards Bay's last four matches. Considering Richards Bay did not score in their last two skirmishes with Kaizer Chiefs, we shouldn't expect goals at both ends.
Prediction 3: Under 2.5 total goals
We've established that Richards Bay failed to score the last two times these teams met. It may also interest you to know that both clashes went below the 1.5 goal mark.
Likewise, Kaizer Chiefs have been involved in a few low-scoring matches these past few weeks; as five of their last seven matches produced less than three goals. All things considered, this will likely be a low-scoring affair.
