Chippa United vs Mamelodi Sundowns Prediction: The Brazilians will return to winning ways

The defending champions will visit Chippa United at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on Wednesday. The visitors must avoid defeat here to secure a space in the top three, while the home team will fight for their second win of the season.

Last five matches: LWLDL

The home side has only won once in the last six games. They have picked up five points from a possible twenty-one in the previous six games. They have conceded the most goals this season (9).

They were humbled on matchday 6 as Golden Arrows beat them (3-2). Their only win this season was against the unlucky Orlando Pirates.

The Chilli Boys were lucky to have remained in the division, with twenty-nine points in thirty games last season. They survived in the division because Moroka Swallows failed to win their previous season's match.

With how they struggled in the previous season, the management changed when they appointed a new first-team coach.

We expect them to at least finish vital this season; however, they won just once at home in the previous season and have won nine this season.

The Brazilians have been on and off this season, their defence has let the champions down. The South African giant were beaten on the road on matchday 6. The home side took advantage of Mamelodi's errors at the back as they won (2-1).

The Brazilians were the best team in the league last season, with a sixteen-point gap. Despite their dominance in the domestic league, they failed in the continental stage.

Mamelodi Sundowns will hope to retain the title this season. However, tomorrow's opponent is one of the division's worst, and we presume an easy ride for them.

The last twenty meetings have ended in eleven wins and seven draws for Mamelodi Sundowns, while Chippa United have only won twice against the champions.

The champions are unbeaten against the hosts in eight tries, and they were fantastic the last time out. We expect them to get it right this time with an away win for 1.62.

The Brazilians might even get a halftime win here for 2.20.

We expect the visitors to score more than a goal for 2.03.

Good luck!
