Chippa United vs Stellenbosch Prediction: This tough contest might end in a share of the spoils

Chippa United will face off against Stellenbosch in the fifth game of the season at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium. The Chilli Boys will strive to maintain their momentum against a formidable opponent on their home turf. 

After their opening-day defeat against Orlando Pirates, Chippa United are now unbeaten over their last three games. They began with a slim (1-0) victory over Richards Bay and picked up a point on the road against Sekhukhune United. They recently secured the maximum points against TS Galaxy on their home turf.

Kwanele Kopo's men have been at their best lately until their (1-0) loss in the Carling Cup against TS Galaxy. 

Chippa United have played four times in the league, with exceptional performances against top teams. 

Chilli Boys will be keen to make their home turf a refuge this season, winning back-to-back matches. 

The Stellies picked up a point against Polokwane City on the road as they failed to take advantage of their chances. Stellenbosch, who scored first, conceded minutes later and were lucky to have secured a point on the road. More recently, they advanced to the next round of the Carling Cup, defeating Amazulu (1-2) on the road. 

Stellenbosch, who ended their campaign in the third spot, will be poised to take advantage of their decent performance on the road to see off an inform Chippa United side tomorrow. Stellenbosch did well by retaining two of their top three players last season, and we can see them go far in the forthcoming Premier League campaign. 

Steven Baker's men have not won any of their last three league games on the road. 

Over their previous eleven meetings, Chippa United have won twice while Stellenbosch have recorded five wins and four games ending in a tie. Stellenbosch played well in their most recent match on the road, while Chippa United won against a tough TS Galaxy side in the league. Chippa United managed just a win from this fixture in previous seasons, but they’re in a better position at the moment. This game is a highly competitive one, and we think both sides will likely get a goal apiece here for 2.18.

We expect both sides to settle for a share of the spoils for 3.00.

This game might end in a stalemate at the break for 2.00.

Good luck!
