TS Galaxy vs Richards Bay Predictions

Coming straight off their elimination from the CAF Confederations Cup tournament, TS Galaxy take aim at their league season and hope to set it back on track by steering a victory against Richards Bay. The team that captured the nation's hearts last season in the Nedbank Cup has had a rough go in the early part of this season. TS Galaxy's stunning exploits defeating the Soweto Giants, Kaizer Chiefs, in the SA League Cup final mean that they are now not just a National First Division team but one that is playing in a continental competition this season.

The schedule of the GladAfrica Championship team was affected by reaching the playoff stages of the tournament, and their form has suffered as a result. They have played five games recently and have drawn three of them and lost two. After this stretch, they now occupy the eleventh position, with a very even points total, in a league where only eight games have been played. They will now face Richards Bay, a team that has been unable to put together a couple of wins lately.

TS Galaxy vs Richards Bay Preview

This season has not been kind to Richards Bay FC, and they have almost disappeared from memory. They had last tasted success almost half a year ago, with a victory in September, but have done nothing but lose and draw since. Our frail side in front of the goal has been exposed this season; we have only found the back of the net eight times. To find goals scored that are fewer in number, one has to look to Jomo Cosmos and Mbombela United, who also threaten to vanish from the top league in South African soccer.

A well-fought contest is expected between the two teams. They are both very tactical and not high-scoring teams. This is essentially a catch-up game for both teams due to TS Galaxy's away matches in the continental tournament that caused a backlog in their playing schedule.

The game is scheduled to take place at Kameelrivier Stadium, which is the home of TS Galaxy. The last time these two teams met on the same field, TS Galaxy emerged victorious, winning the match by a score of 3-0. The head-to-head record also tilts in favor of the Galaxy; the two teams have played together only once before this afternoon's match. They met again; and, let's just say, nobody showed up on the score sheet.

Watch the fixture in the GladAfrica Championship where TS Galaxy take on Richards Bay. The match will kick off at 15:30 CAT on the 20th of November.
