Richards Bay – Mamelodi Sundowns preview: Form, news, and probable lineups
Read about these two teams ahead of their next matchup here, including our predicted Richards Bay vs Mamelodi Sundowns lineups:
Richards Bay
After two losses at the start of the new season in South African Premiership, Richards Bay finally got their first points after drawing with AmaZulu in the last round. The team that narrowly escaped the relegation last season by finishing three points ahead of the first team in the relegation zone seems to be in for another stressful season, at least based on their poor start.
Richards Bay predicted lineup:
Magoola – Diamini, Mcineka, Dube, Mabua – Barns, Komane, Miya – Mthembu, Ntsundwana, Mhlongo
Mamelodi Sundowns
The defending champions started the new season in South African Premiership with a four wins in a row and after finishing last season with 16 points more than the next team in the standings, it seems that Mamelodi Sundowns are on their way to continue this domination and win their seventh title in a row. Of course, it is still early in the season, but Sundowns have certainly made their intentions known already.
Mamelodi Sundowns predicted lineup:
Williams – Kekala, Mvala, Boutouil – Bravo, Coetzee, Mokoena, Modiba – Nku, Costa, Zwane

Mamelodi Sundowns
Player to Watch: Lesiba Nku
While only played in two matches so far for Mamelodi Sundowns out of four that the team has played, he still managed to score a couple of goals in those matches.
With that in mind, he is our player to watch for the upcoming duel against Richards Bay, who need to be wary of the forward if they want to get a good result in this match.
