Siwelele FC and Richards Bay are set to meet in the Betway Premiership for the first time, marking a significant milestone in both clubs’ top-flight journeys.

Siwelele approach the fixture with confidence, having secured a 3-1 victory over Golden Arrows earlier in the campaign — their first encounter against KwaZulu-Natal opposition this season. This match represents their second test against a KZN-based side.

Head coach Lehlohonolo Seema holds a favourable record against Richards Bay, with four wins, one draw, and one defeat from six previous league meetings — a statistic that may offer a psychological edge.

Both teams enter the match with three points from four matches, each recording one win and three defeats. With identical starts to the season, the fixture presents an opportunity for either side to gain momentum and move up the standings.
