Kaizer Chiefs aim to break Richards Bay hoodoo with venue change
Kaizer Chiefs prepare for a pivotal Betway Premiership match against Richards Bay at Princess Magogo Stadium, aiming to break their away losing streak and maintain their unbeaten start to the season.
Kaizer Chiefs are set to play against Richards Bay in a Betway Premiership match, with the venue shifted to Princess Magogo Stadium in KwaMashu. The change comes after Chiefs failed to secure an away victory against Richards Bay in recent seasons. The teams have previously played at King Zwelithini Stadium and the uMhlathuze Sports Complex.
Richards Bay's last win over Chiefs was in March, which added to Amakhosi's struggles in this fixture. Amakhosi has started the season well, earning seven points from three matches. Meanwhile, Richards Bay is yet to record a league win this season and collects only two points from their opening matches. For Chiefs, the move could provide an advantage as they look to break their away hoodoo.
The 21-year-old Langelihle Phili has already made an impact for Chiefs, scoring against Sundowns and impressing in their early matches. However, Richards Bay will be aiming to leverage their home advantage in this closely contested fixture.
