Betway Premiership
Matchday 30
Magesi FC v Richards Bay FC
Seshego Stadium
Polokwane, South Africa
Saturday, 23 May 2026
Kick-off is at 15:00
With the Betway Premiership relegation battle to be decided on the final day of the campaign, Magesi will come out swinging when they take on Richards Bay at home on Saturday.
As it stands, Magesi are at the bottom of the log after accumulating just 21 points from 29 games this season.
Their inability to record positive points throughout the season has been summed up in results during the last couple of weeks as they head into their next match on a run of three consecutive defeats.
Regarding the relegation battle as a whole, Magesi are three points from safety and also trail the Relegation Play-off position by three points.
in their bid to remain in the division, Magesi will likely need favorable results elsewhere, as 15th placed Orbit College take on Orlando Pirates this weekend while 14th placed Marumo Gallants are scheduled to take on Stellenbosch FC on Saturday.
With survival in the Betway Premiership foremost in Magesi’s minds, Allan Freese will now bank on home ground advantage to get them over the line this weekend, given that all four of their league wins have come at the Seshego Stadium.
“Expectation, we are playing at home, what is expected is a good result at home,” Freese said.
“That’s it, there’s no other thing, and that’s the way it is, go back home, give it our best, and the positive result is expected at home”.
