Chippa United Form & Team News

Chippa six sixth in the PSL table after 11 rounds of action. In all competitions, it’s five losses in the last eight matches.

A 2-0 home win over Golden Arrows preceded a 2-0 loss at AmaZulu as they struggled on their travels. A 0-0 draw preceded a 2-0 home win over Magesi FC.

Their last two fixtures have ended in defeats. They conceded late to lose 1-0 at home to Cape Town City before a 1-0 loss at Kaizer Chiefs.

Siphelo Baloni is suspended in midfield for this one. Right back Sirgio Kammies could be recalled.

Striker Elmo Kambindu has been sold to AmaZulu. Speedy winger Craig Martin is doubtful.

Chippa United Predicted Lineup

Nwabali; Kammies, Molaoa, Makhele, Modise; Maarman, Jali, Majogoro, Kwayiba, Sithole, Eva Nga.

Marumo Gallants Form & Team News

Marumo picked up a crucial three points last time out. They have taken just one point from the four previous fixtures (LLLD).

A 1-0 loss at Polokwane City was followed by an 8-1 thrashing away at Orlando Pirates in a match which was 1-1 at half-time. A 1-0 loss at Sekhukhune United was followed by a 0-0 home draw with Richards Bay to stop the slump.

Their last match brought a key 1-0 home win over Cape Town City. A 12th-minute goal was enough as they held on for three points.

Coach Dan Malesela is back in charge and could recall some trusted players. Left back Lebohang Mabotja and winger Thapelo Dhludhlu are set to be named in the starting XI.

Veteran midfielder Xola Mlambo is out of favour. Experienced centre back Trevor Mathiane could start once again.

Marumo Gallants Predicted Lineup

Arubi; Khumalo, Mathiane, Sikhosana, Mabotja; Nemtajela, Manaka, Mphambaniso; Dhludhlu, Mhango, Msendami.
