Richards Bay will be looking to build on their solid start to the DStv Premiership season when they host Marumo Gallants this afternoon.
Teams: Richards Bay v Marumo Gallants
Date: 09 August 2022
Venue: King Goodwill Zwelithini Stadium
Time: 15h00
Gallants had a steady start under new head coach Romain Folz after they played to a goalless draw against Stellenbosch on Saturday.
However, Bahlabane Ba Ntwa stretched their winless run in the league to ten matches carrying over from last season.
Richards Bay in contrast had a perfect start after stunning Golden Arrows 2-0 in the KwaZulu-Natal derby in their opening game courtesy of goals by Somila Ntsundwana and Abel Mabaso.
The Natal Rich Boyz, who were making their debut in the Premiership, were one of only four teams who had winning starts, including Mamelodi Sundowns, Orlando Pirates and Royal AM.
Bay recently announced the signing of former Sundowns defender Harold Majadibodu, who was on loan at University of Pretoria last season while another new recruit Luvuyo Memela also recently joined training after he missed the opening game.
