On Friday, as part of the 19th round of the South African Premier League, Stellenbosch and Chippa United will clash at the "Danie Craven Stadium." Here's our match prediction from our site's experts.
Stellenbosch
The "Maroons" have gained momentum, and if not for a dismal start to autumn, where Stellenbosch collected just one point from five league matches, losing four encounters, Steve Barker's team would be much higher in the table. Approaching the match against Chippa United, "Maroons" are coming off a penalty shootout victory over Pretoria Callies in the South African Cup. In the league, Stellenbosch drew with SuperSport United (1-1), halting a four-match winning streak. Currently, "Stellies" occupies the 4th position in the league table, amassing 27 points. They trail the leader by 15 points.
Chippa United
On the contrary, "Chilli Boys" are having a very poor season. Currently, Chippa United sits only in 12th place in the South African Premier League table, accumulating just 19 points from 17 matches. In the previous round, Chippa United drew 1-1 at home against Cape Town City, who are placed second. In their last five matches, Siyabulela Gwambi's team has managed only one victory, suffering defeats in three instances. It's worth noting that, like their upcoming opponent, Chippa progressed in the South African Cup, defeating NK Professional 2-1.
Interesting Match Facts and Head-to-Head History
