👉 Our prediction is: Both teams don't score

Based on our analysis, we are confident that the best bet is to go 'no' on the Both Teams to Score market.

The matchup figures to be a tight, defensive one, with both teams desperate not to get caught out. That's why we see only one or none of the teams finding the back of the net in this encounter, which are the conditions needed to win the bet.

👉 Our prediction is: under 9.5 corners

Our top betting tip for Richards Bay vs Polokwane City is to take under 9.5 corners on the corners market. We see great value in this market compared to more popular betting markets, which you can capitalise upon.
