Chippa Utd vs Mpheni Prediction: Expect goals in this match

Chippa United and Mpheni will square off against one another in a match for the first round of the eighth stage of the South African NEDBANK Cup at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium. Despite the fact that Mpheni won their previous encounter, the host team is the favorite to win this one.

Although they entered this match having suffered successive defeats in their most recent encounters, Chippa United is the favorite to win this match and take the three points. The host team has only managed to win one of their last five matches, suffering defeat in three of them and playing to a draw in the other. They were able to score four goals in those matches while scoring seven overall. We are now looking forward to a better performance from the home team, as we anticipate that they will make the most of the opportunity presented by a Mpheni team competing at a lower level.

Mpheni will go into this match hoping to win again, like they did against Clarewood in the NEDBANK 1/16 round. In that particular game, Bonginkosi Makanya scored a goal for the away team in the 43rd minute, which put them in the lead for the first half of play. However, goals scored by Nkateko Shilenge in the 67th minute and Nkosephayo Mavundla in the 86th minute during the second half were sufficient to secure a victory for Mpheni in a rather easy fashion. Another outstanding offensive and defensive performance from the opposing squad is something we anticipate from them in this match as well.

It is likely that there will be goals scored in this match because the away team displayed their attacking prowess in the games before this one, although Chippa United is the heavy favorite to win this match. But, we anticipate that the away team will put out a good performance in this contest, and as a result, we anticipate that they will be able to cover the spread.
