Richards Bay vs AmaZulu Betting Tips: Under 2.5 Goals / Richards Bay to win
While Amazulu are all but safe from the threat of relegation, Richards Bay come into this contest still fighting to avoid relegation from the PSL.
Fresh off a spirited 2-1 triumph over Chippa United, AmaZulu find themselves placed ninth in the division, 11 points clear of Richards Bay who currently occupy the relegation playoff position.
On their travels, AmaZulu have struggled for form in recent weeks with four defeats suffered in their last six away fixtures. Four of their five most recent road fixtures saw under 2.5 goals scored with Pablo Franco´side scoring just twice in those fixtures.
Hots Richards Bay, while languishing near the bottom of the division, have picked up some decent results at King Goodwill Zwelithini Stadium this year. Vusumuzi Vilakazi´s men have won four and lost just one of their last seven PSL fixtures on home soil. Five of those seven games also saw under 2.5 goals scored, suggesting a tight contest could be the cards on Tuesday.
Recent meetings between these sides have also been tight - All of their three previous encounters saw under 2.5 goals scored.
Considering those numbers, and both sides recent form, a low-scoring matchup seems likely. I´m backing under 2.5 goals while I also fancy Richards Bay to edge their way to victory at King Goodwill Zwelithini Stadium.

AmaZulu team news
Pablo Franco is unlikely to make too many changes to his selection on Tuesday. Hendrick Ekstein could earn a recall after his match-winning penalty against Chippa United on Saturday.
