Chiefs missed the opportunity to move up the standings on Wednesday after being held to a goalless draw by Cape Town City at FNB Stadium.
As a result, the Soweto giants will enter this afternoon's clash in eighth position.
Chiefs were also dealt a big blow this week with the news of defender Rushwin Dortley undergoing surgery, which is set to keep him sidelined for months.
Richards Bay, meanwhile, find themselves in a relegation battle after losing 1-0 to Magesi FC on Tuesday evening.
The defeat to Magesi has left the Natal Rich Boyz in 14th position, level on points with 15th-placed SuperSport United.
