Golden Arrows vs Chippa United Prediction: The hosts won’t lose back-to-back home games against their guests

Golden Arrow will lock horns against Chippa United at the Mpumalanga Stadium on Saturday. The hosts, who recently won against a tough Kaizer Chiefs, will fight for a back-to-back home win tomorrow against a dangerous opponent. 

Golden Arrows (10th)

Last five games: LDWLW

Manqoba Mngqithi’s men, after their shocking loss against Magesi on the road, defeated Kaizer Chiefs on their home ground. Golden Arrows, who could have been (1-2) down at the break, stood their ground and settled for a (1-1) stalemate. They started the second half with great intensity and got a winner in the 78th minute when Knox Mutizwa found the back of the net. They secured a (2-1) victory over their guests and moved to the tenth spot on the log. 

The home side have been below par lately, but they have shown character in their recent performances. Golden Arrows have picked up twenty-seven points from a combined sixty, scoring seventeen and conceding twenty-one. 

Golden Arrows will be motivated to go all out against their opponents but must be prepared to handle the attacking prowess of their guests. 

Chippa United (9th)

Last five games: LDLWW

The Chilli Boys secured a back-to-back win for the first time since the league began as they defeated a stubborn Amazulu at the Buffalo Stadium. It was an excellent first-half performance, which saw them scoring two goals while conceding once. They protected the lead with their lives after the break while the guests dominated them. This was after their emphatic (2-0) victory over Polokwane City at home. After three consecutive games without a breakthrough, Chippa United deserved their recent run, and they’ll be keen to extend it further against their opponent tomorrow. 

Chippa United have played twenty-one times in the league, with exceptional performances against top teams and not teams below them. They have picked up twenty-eight points from a combined sixty-three, scoring twenty-one and conceding eighteen.

Expert Betting Tips

Chippa United have been pretty effective in front of goal across their last two games even though their general performances have been poor. They have fired fewer shots than their opponents in their last two games and had less possession of the ball but ended up on the winning side. They’ll face off against a Golden Arrows side who head here with a quality display against Kaizer Chiefs, even though they were lucky their opponents were indecisive in front of goal.

Golden Arrows are not a consistent team, but they have made their home turf a refuge, and they’ll be keen to at least secure a point here. I’ll settle for a home win or draw and over 1.5 goals as Golden Arrows will avoid back-to-back home losses against Chippa United this season for 1.96 at (Betway)

I anticipate this game will yield a high number of goals, considering the way both teams have been operating in recent games; consider betting on a total over 2.5 goals for 2.40 at (Bet365) to align with this prediction.

I also think this game will end in BTTS as the hosts hardly keep a clean sheet; bet on a goal apiece for 2.01 at (1xbet).

Good luck!
