Chippa United vs Royal AM Prediction: Will the home side break the jinx?

On Wednesday, Chippa United will square off against Royal AM at the Nelson Mandela Stadium Bay Stadium. The visitors are without a defeat against the home side over their previous seven meetings and will rely on this record to at least get a point here.

Last five games: DDDLW

The Chilli Boys secured their first three points since the season's commencement simply after their defeat against Mamelodi Sundowns. Chippa United knew they had to win, having been playing great without results to show for it. Ronaldo Maarman scored the only goal that gave them the maximum points.

Chippa United have played five times in the league, with exceptional performances against Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates, to mention a few. Even though Chippa United managed one win since the start of the season, they have played better than the previous season, and you could tell they’ll finish strong.

Coach Morgan Mammila is a good gaffer, and we expect him to at least finish the season among the top eight this season.

Last four games: DLLW

The visiting side picked up their first three points in the tournament following a tough start. Royal AM defied all odds, scoring with their only shot on Target. Even though they were the second best and had five shots compared to TS Galaxy, Thabo Matlaba scored the only goal that won them their first three points.

Royal AM began their journey with a boring share of the spoils at home against Amazulu. Their second encounter ended in a defeat as they were beaten by Orlando Pirates on the road. The loss was inevitable as they faced one of the best-attacking teams in the division. Royal AM surrendered to (4-2) defeat as they have now gone two games without a breakthrough. More recently, they suffered another home defeat, conceding three goals while scoring once against Stellenbosch.

Royal AM conceded the second most goals (43) in the previous season and have conceded the second most goals, having played just four times this season.

Over their previous twenty meetings, Royal AM have won nine, while Chippa United have recorded three wins and eight games ending in a deadlock. Royal AM have not lost in their last seven meetings. However, Chippa United are another team entirely this season and head here at the back of a win on the road. Chilli Boys have conceded three times this season, while Royal AM have let in seven goals. It’s not going to be an easy game, but we expect the home side to win either half for 1.87.

Both sides might settle for a halftime draw here for 1.94.

We have a feeling the visitors will get a goal here just because of their great record in this fixture; bet on BTTS for 2.05.

Good luck!
