Cape Town Spurs vs Chippa United Predictions

Spurs desperately need a result in this match to get on the board. Chippa are draw specialists and are not easy to beat. I am backing this to end a low-scoring draw with fewer than three goals in the fixture.

Head to Head

Cape Town Spurs hold a 5-1 lead against Chippa United across 10 previous meetings with four draws.

The last meeting was in April 2018 as the sides played out a 1-1 draw.

Cape Town Spurs Form & Team News

Spurs are back in the top flight after finishing third in the NDF. They kept four clean sheets in the playoffs (WWWD) to gain promotion.

Their first three matches in the DSTV Premiership have all ended in defeats. A 1-0 loss at TS Galaxy preceded a 2-0 home defeat to Sekhukhune United.

The most recent match saw a 3-1 defeat away at fellow newcomers Polokwane City. Spurs trailed 3-0 before scoring a consolation goal.

Coach Shaun Bartlett could hand a start to new right back Nicholus Lukhubeni. Veteran centre back Clayton Daniels could remain on the bench.

Centre forward Buitomelo Radiopane remains out injured. Central midfielder Morne Nel is doubtful.

Cape Town Spurs Predicted Lineup

Dlamini; Lukhubeni, Allie, Dortley, Msani; Butsaka, Buchanan, Morton, Phewa, Cupido; Moosa.

Chippa United Form & Team News

Chippa have won just once in 15 league fixtures. This season has seen three draws and a defeat and just one goal scored.

Their opening two fixtures of the 2023-24 season ended 0-0: away at Kaizer Chiefs and at home to TS Galaxy. A solid 1-1 home draw with Orlando Pirates as they came from 1-0 down.

The Chilli Boys’ last match saw a 2-0 home loss to champions, Mamelodi Sundowns. They limited their opponents to three shots on target but they didn’t threaten much themselves.

Chippa have a settled back seven but the front four could see some changes. Thabiso Lebitso is set for a recall on the wing and Sirgio Kammies is another hoping to start.

Menzi Ndwandwe is fit again up front. He could be recalled to the XI with Augustine Mulenga returning to his natural wide position.

Chippa United Predicted Lineup

Kazapua; Mdunyelwa, Chabalala, Pietersen, Ntsabo; Mosele, Konqobe; Lebitso, Memela, Mulenga; Ndwandwe.

Verdict

Cape Town Spurs v Chippa United

I see this being a hard-fought match. I am tipping a draw with under 2.5 goals in the fixture. A 1-1 scoreline looks like excellent value.
