APWin Prediction

Double Chance: Richards Bay or Draw

The APWin team has examined the key betting markets and identified the most valuable opportunities.

👉 Our prediction is: Richards Bay to win the 1st half

As the odds and the statistics clearly indicate, Richards Bay is the superior side in this matchup. They play an aggressive attacking style that puts pressure on their opponents. We expect more or less the same gameplan at home against AmaZulu, which should result in a fast start.

That is why we are tipping Richards Bay to win the first half in the half-time market.

👉 Our prediction is: Both teams don't score

It's hard to overlook the part that defence will play in this match. The capable defending of both sides will be tough for opposing offences, which is why it could be a low-scoring affair.

That overwhelming defence is also a great reason to go 'no' on the Both teams to score market.
