Chippa United vs Kaizer Chiefs Predictions

Chippa United have scored 18 goals in 13 games this season
Chippa United have scored 11 times in their previous 5 matches
Chippa United have not conceded a goal at home in 5 matches
Kaizer Chiefs have scored 9 goals in their last two games

Head to Head

Kaizer Chiefs have three victories against Chippa United, with their last encounter being a 3-3 home draw for Chippa back in 2020. An interesting statistic is that Chiefs have scored 21 goals in those fixtures.

Chippa United Form

Chippa United dropped vital points recently when they lost 3-1 to Golden Arrows and registered their second defeat in 10 Diski league matches.

Chippa remains in the third spot on the Diski table with 25 points from 13 games. They have scored 18 goals and conceded 13 at the back.

After their opening round home defeat at the start of the season, the Chilli Boys have not lost at home since and boast a record of four wins and one draw. Importantly, they have not conceded a goal.

Chippa United have the home ground advantage and will attempt to keep their unbeaten run going when they face Kaizer Chiefs this weekend.

Chippa United Team News & Injuries

After a shaky start to the season, coach Daine Klante has steadied the ship and guided Chippa United into a good position in the league, and a win this weekend will keep them in touch with Orlando Pirates.

Thulani Mini has registered six goals this season and can score more.

Kaizer Chiefs Form

Kaizer Chiefs halted their poor run of three league defeats in a row by comprehensively beating Marumo Galants 4-0 last Sunday, with Wandile Duba scoring three goals in the match.

Duba became the second Chiefs player to score a hat-trick in as many games after Mduduzi Shablala's against Royal AM. They have scored nine times in those two outings.

Chiefs moved to 10th in the Diski table on 16 points from 13 games, with five victories, seven defeats and one draw. They have netted 23 goals and let in 22 at the back.

The Glamour Boys have secured a single victory away from home this season. They have lost three, drawn one, and have hit the back of the net 14 times but have conceded 16.

Kaizer Chiefs have not kept a clean sheet on the road this season, and it must be a worry for Sunday's clash.

Kaizer Chiefs Team News & Injuries

Coach Vela Khumalo will be pleased that Chiefs have got their season back on track after their convincing win over Gallants and will demand more of the same from his team this weekend.

Khumalo should field an unchanged side.

Mduduzi Shabalala has found the back of the net six times this season, including five in his last two starts.

Wandile Duba's hat-trick last time out will give him the confidence to score again.
