Match Preview
Chippa United will host Stellenbosch at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on Sunday, 28 September, in a clash that could prove crucial for both teams as they seek to improve their league standings. Chippa United's recent form has been concerning, with just one draw in their last five matches, leaving them desperate for a turnaround. In contrast, Stellenbosch managed a win in their last outing, which could provide them with the momentum they need to secure points away from home.
Historically, this fixture has seen Chippa United hold a slight edge, winning five of the last ten encounters, but the recent head-to-head record suggests a competitive match is likely. With four of those meetings featuring both teams scoring, the potential for goals could be a key factor. Given Chippa's struggle to find form and Stellenbosch's recent improvement, the visitors may fancy their chances of capitalising on defensive lapses from the home side. A close contest is anticipated, but the visitors could emerge with a vital away win if they maintain their current trajectory.
