  • Richards Bay have seen BTTS Yes in 4 of their last 5 home matches (National First Division).
  • Chippa United have drawn 3 of their last 5 matches (all competitions).

  • Chippa United have seen BTTS Yes in their last 2 matches (all competitions).

Head to Head


Chippa United hold a 2-0 advantage having won both of their previous meetings against Richards Bay with no draws.

The two teams played each other a week ago as Chippa United won 2-1.

Richards Bay Form


Richards Bay looked set for automatic promotion as they topped the log after 26 matches. However, they dropped seven points in their last four matches to finish four points off the top.

After a 3-2 win against University of Pretoria, they lost 1-0 at TS Sporting and 2-1 to JDR Stars. A 1-1 draw at Jomo Cosmos followed before ending the season on a high with a 4-0 win against Steenburg United.

Their last match was the first PSL playoff match against Chippa as they lost 2-1 away. They were 2-0 down before a late consolation goal from Siyabonga Vilane.

Richards Bay Injuries & Team News


Coach Allan Freese has a clean bill of health for this match.

Richards Bay are expected to start Siyabonga Vilane and Somila Ntsundwana together up front to chase the win they need.

Chippa United Form


Chippa United had a good finish to the league season with one loss in their final seven matches but still finished in the relegation play off spot. Their only match in the playoff saw them win before a 3-0 walkover after Royal AM did not arrive for the match.

A last minute 1-0 win at Kaizer Chiefs and a strong 1-0 victory against Stellenbosch was followed by a 1-0 loss in the Nedbank Cup final to TTM. A 0-0 draw with Black Leopards followed before a disappointing 2-1 loss to Bloemfontein Celtic.

Chippa drew 0-0 at TTM and 1-1 against SuperSport United to finish the PSL season. Their first playoff match brought a 2-1 win against Richard Bay with Sandile Mthethwa and Sizwe Mdlinzo on target.

Chippa are expected to have Nyiko Mobbie and Riaan Hanamub back to start in the fullback positions.

Veteran midfield Oupa Manyisa could lose his spot with Kurt Lentjies playing in support of Bienvenu Eva Nga.
