Richards Bay: the Natal Rich Boys

Richards Bay, a relatively new entrant to the Premiership, got there by winning the 2021–22 National First Division. The club, which was founded in 2017 after Thanda Zulu Royal was sold to Brian Sifiso Biyela, is nicknamed the Natal Rich Boys. In a thrilling cup upset, Richards Bay eliminated Kaizer Chiefs 2-1 in the last 32 of the Nedbank Cup, showcasing what an NFD side is capable of.

Correct score, extra time and cup finals

For Correct Score predictions, keeping bets limited to the first 90 minutes plus stoppage time is a standard rule. Bookmakers manage their exposure by excluding extra time, as the different playing dynamics of tired players and open tactics often distort pricing if included.
