A sense of anticipation builds as Richards Bay and Cape Town City meet again, 3 months after their previous Premier League encounter that concluded in a 2-1 victory for Cape Town City. With losses to AmaZulu Durban and Polokwane City, Richards Bay's form has dipped ahead of this clash.

Cape Town City's form has been disappointing just like their oponents, approaching this match after a defeat to Sekhukhune United in the Premier League on April 6, currently in the midst of a twelve-game winless stretch. Their scoring touch has been absent, failing to score in their last three away outings, putting pressure on their attack to deliver.

Richards Bay and Cape Town City meet in Premier League with their goal-scorers and playmakers ready to take on pivotal roles. Richards Bay’s offensive unit, with Papi Zothwane steering the side, has leaned on Yanela Mbuthuma, their main scorer, and Justice Figuareido, as they continue to drive the team’s attacking efforts forward. With four goals in Premier League, Mbuthuma is Richards Bay’s top scorer in the league, as Gumede continues to lead their creative efforts in the tournament with three assists. Keegan Allan, Ntlonelo Bomelo and Fezile Gcaba have made their presence felt as well, chipping in with decisive contributions in attack.

Meanwhile, Cape Town City’s attacking options, shaped by Diogo Peral’s vision, have been bolstered by Prins Tjiueza and Amadou Soukouna, the team’s top scorer, both of whom have contributed crucial goals and assists. In Premier League, Soukouna has been Cape Town City’s standout scorer with three goals, while Tjiueza has been their leading creator in the competition with two assists. Darwin Jesus Gonzalez Mendoza, Haashim Domingo and Kayden Francis have supported the attack well, combining for important goals and assists throughout the campaign.
