The Richards Bay & Cape Umoya United managers S. Dladla and R. De Sá are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Gladafrica Championship league table.
- Richards Bay have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Cape Umoya United have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
It's no vacation for neither Richards nor Cape Umoya United as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Cape Umoya United have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1700 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
