Here is the Richards Bay vs Golden Arrows odds ahead of the encounter. These ods are subject to change.
Richards Bay odds: 36/25 (2.44) – 41%
Draw odds: 39/20 (2.95) – 34%
Golden Arrows odds: 54/25 (3.16) – 32%
A win probability of 41% hands Richards Bay an advantage in this game but it is not far from Golden Arrows's implied win probability of 32 with odds of 3.16. A draw could be on the cards but that would take some risks given that the hosts have been struggling lately.
Another notable betting market is the goals market, where you can bet on a low scoreline of under 2.5 goals given that the last two encounters ended with fewer than 3 goals. The fact that the hosts failed to score in their last three games and that Golden Arrows did not score in one of their last did and in the other two, did not score more than a goal, means this is likely to end with under 2.5 goals.
