National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Kaizer Chiefs or Richards Bay that keep their silverware dream alive.

Kaizer Chiefs form and stats

Last season their Nedbank Cup adventure ended in the 8th finals.

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Premier League this season. Kaizer Chiefs have only managed 1 win, 4 draws and 2 losses from their games here.

No payout for Kaizer in their previous match, an away game at Orlando Pirates that ended in defeat 1-2. In the match before that, Kaizer hosted Baroka and drew the Premier League game 1-1.

The penalty miss from S. Nurkovic in the defeat against Orlando Pirates was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.

The home team are expected to win this game about three out of four times, according to the bookmaker odds. When checking the database for Kaizer Chiefs home games with this odds we find four games with a similar winning chance. Resulting in one win, zero draws and three defeats. Looking at the victories, zero matches were won by at least two goals.

The Kaizer fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 7 matches. 9 goals have been conceded.

Richards Bay form and stats

They also participated in Nedbank Cup last season. This ended in the preliminary round.

Richards Bay's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Richards Bay collect 14 points from their 7 away matches in the First Division. 4 victories and 2 draws have created these points (and only 1 defeat).

Richards have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 7 league away games 9 goals have been scored. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (4 so far).
