Competition: South Africa First Division
Date: Sun 22.September
Match begins: 13:00 (UTC)
Venue: Richards Bay Sports Stadium (8000 seats)

The season is still fairly new and the First Division table has to be read with caution. So far Richards Bay find themselves in 6th position and Free State Stars are placed 14th.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Free State Stars form and stats

It's not happening yet for Free State Stars on their First Division travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? Free State Stars are desperate to end a ten-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the AmaZulu fixture. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Free State Stars have lost on their last two travels.

Free State Stars's last game was the home draw against TS Sporting (1-1). A 0-1 defeat away at Mbombela United before that.

It's early days yet, but Free State Stars has scored 2 and conceded 4 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
