On the 15th of October, Chippa United will travel to Johannesburg to battle Kaizer Chiefs in a meeting of these two mismatched Premier League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but hot day with daytime temperatures of 30 degrees, which may be tiring for the players. In their last match, Kaizer Chiefs recorded a 3-1 win against Stellenbosch. Nhlanhla Mgaga scored the first goal for Stellenbosch in the 29th minute, but Bimenyimana got the equalizer for Kaizer Chiefs in the 4th minute of the first half’s stoppage time But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback victory in the 49th minute on a penalty goal by Bonfilscaleb Bimenyimana. With 17 points in their last 10 matches Kaizer Chiefs should be reasonably happy with their performance, while 11th placed Chippa United is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Tshakhuma. Ronaldo Maarman struck first for Chippa United in the 50th minute on a feed from Siphelele Luthuli, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Tshakhuma couldn’t muster any offence and Chippa United ran away with the shutout win. Chippa United is looking for direction having earned 12 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Kaizer Chiefs won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Chippa United hasn’t been successful in netting any goals lately. Their top scorers in the last 5 matches are Ronald Pfumbidzai and Ighodaro, and they each have 1 goal. Bonfilscaleb Bimenyimana has been on a hot streak lately. In the last five games, the attacker has scored 6 goals for Kaizer Chiefs.
