Chippa United vs Orlando Pirates Predictions


The hosts will play defensively and try to nick a shock win. Pirates are in great form and love this fixture. I’m backing the visitors to win with Under 2.5 goals in the match.

Head to Head


Pirates hold a 15-4 advantage over Chippa United with three draws across 22 meetings.

The teams played out a 1-1 draw when they last met in August 2023.

Chippa United Form & Team News


Chippa won four matches in a row but have followed that with successive defeats. 

The Chilli Boys won 2-0 in successive home matches vs Cape Town Spurs and Kaizer Chiefs. Successive 2-0 away wins followed at TS in the Nedbank Cup and at SuperSport United in the league. 

A last-minute penalty led to a 2-1 defeat at AmaZulu. In midweek, they lost 2-1 at home to Moroka Swallows. 

Centre back Roscoe Pietersen misses that due to suspension. Fellow defenders Justice Chabalala and Sirgio Kammies are available after bans. 

Left back Malebogo Modise is an injury doubt. Goodman Mosele is a question mark in midfield against his parent club.

Chippa United Predicted Lineup


Nwabali; Nhlapo, Makhele, Chabalala, Kammies; Mosele, Majogoro; Martin, Kwayiba, Francis; Kambindu.

Orlando Pirates Form & Team News


Pirates have only been beaten once in 13 matches. They have been scoring freely in recent fixtures.

They thrashed Golden Arrows 7-1 at home with 12 ‘big chances’ created. They beat AmaZulu twice in a row, firstly 4-2 away in the Nedbank Cup and then 1-0 at home in the DSTV Premiership.

Bucs have won twice on their travels in the last week. They won 4-0 at Royal AM and then 2-0 at Cape Town City on Wednesday.

Coach Jose Riveiro has two players available after suspension. Defensive midfielder Makhehleni Makhaula and number ten Patrick Maswanganyi will start. 

Central defender Olisa Ndah is injured. Right back Thabiso Lebitso has broken his collarbone. 

Orlando Pirates Predicted Lineup


Chaine; Monyane, Xoki, Sesane, Hotto; Timm, Makhaula; Maswanganyi, Dlamini, Mofokeng; Mabasa.
