After causing one of the huge upsets in the Nedbank Cup a year ago when they knocked Kaizer Chiefs out, Richards Bay are hoping for the same when they host Mamelodi Sundowns in the first round at Princess Magogo Stadium today at 6pm.
nd coach Simo Dladla is positive the Natal Rich Boyz can pull off another upset against a Sundowns side that has done well against minnows in the past.
“But the good thing is this is a game that can pull out a surprise because all the teams last played competitive games in December. Now, it will be the first game in almost two months and anything can happen. Having said that, we are not concentrating on them but us as Richards Bay. We want to play our normal football and see what we can get after the game.”
Meanwhile, Sundowns co-coach Manqoba Mngqithi doesn’t want his side to suffer the embarrassment of being booted out of the cup competition by minnows.
