Maritzburg United's three unbeaten games came to an end as Godspower Ighodaro's goal was enough for Chippa to obtain all the points. Maritzburg were lucky to have conceded just a goal after the home side hit the post three times. The Blue Army are relishing the reign of coach Fadlu Davids since his appointment. Maritzburg must win here to stay off the relegation zone, and there is no better place than in front of their own fans.

Maritzburg have won three, drawn two and lost two in the last nine home matches.
