JOHANNESBURG (Interstat) — A surging Richards Bay side will look to continue its recent turnaround when it hosts a Durban City FC club playing its first competitive match of the season in a Black Label Cup group stage match on Saturday.

The matchup at a neutral site serves as the opening game of the domestic cup competition for both teams. Richards Bay enters with momentum, coming off a 4-1 victory over Chippa Utd on Oct. 5. That win extended the club’s unbeaten run to four matches across all competitions, a stretch that includes three wins and a draw.

Despite an overall season record of 11 wins, 17 losses and 4 draws, Richards Bay’s current form suggests a confident squad. Durban City FC, by contrast, has yet to log an official match this season, with its records in all competitions sitting at 0-0-0. Its most recent result was a 4-1 friendly win over Polokwane City on Oct. 3.

The Interstat game simulator projects a 3-1 victory for Durban City FC. The match kicks off at 3 p.m. local time.
