Chippa United vs Royal AM Prediction: Tough game but expect the visitors to score first

Chippa United will play their first home match of the season against Royal AM at the Nelson Mandela Stadium on Wednesday. The home side have a difficult task to accomplish when they host Royal AM tomorrow.

Last season position: 14th

Chippa United began their season with a (1-1) draw against Supersport. They took the lead in the early hour of the game; however, the home side came asking questions in the second half and finally got the equalizer in the 63rd minute.

The Chilli Boys were lucky to have remained in the division, with twenty-nine points in thirty games last season. They survived in the division because Moroka Swallows failed to win their last season game.

With how they struggled in the previous season, the management changed when they appointed a new first-team coach.

Few players were also acquired in the names of Sipho Chaine, Justice Chabalala, Trevor Matome Mathiane, Brooklyn, Poggenpoel, Sirgio Kammies, Aviwe Mqokozo, Khanyisile Mayo, Diego Appollis, Shaquille Abrahams, Zanoxolo Mduli, Abdi Banda (Tanzanian International), Elmo Kambindu (Namibian International), Nkosikhona Dube.

We expect them to at least finish vital this season; however, they won just once at home in the previous season with nine draws and five losses.

Last season's position: 3rd

Thwihli Thwahla's side were the most improved team last season. They finished third and secured the ticket to their first-ever CAF tournament.

They kicked off their season with a convincing win over Kaizer Chiefs. They took the lead in the early minutes of the match and held onto the lead despite the turbulence from the visiting side.

Royal AM wasn't great away from home last season, with three wins, seven draws and five losses.

In the previous twenty games, Chippa United have drawn seven and won four times, while Royal AM have recorded nine victories.

The season is still fresh, and it's hard to predict how good teams will be. However, Royal AM looked great in their last game, as did Chippa United. Bet on Royal AM to score first for 1.95.

The home side might get a goal here; bet on BTTS for 2.02.

A Royal AM win might be worth the risk for 2.30.

Good luck!
