Chippa United vs Kaizer Chiefs Prediction: The Chilli Boys will stand their ground against the Amakhosi

Chippa United vs Kaizer Chiefs: Prediction and odds on the Match on 19 April 2025

The Chilli Boys will lock horns against Kaizer Chiefs FC at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in an end-to-end game on Saturday. After a run of inconsistent results, Kaizer Chiefs have something to hold on to, as they are likely to lay their hands on a trophy later this season. The Amakhosi, who defeated a solid Mamelodi Sundowns in the semifinal of the Nedbank Cup, will strive to transfer such a spirited performance to their league game against Chippa United later this weekend. 

Chippa United: Form and Statistics

Last five games: DLWWD

Thabo September’s men are back on their feet after a run of disappointing results as they head here with a stalemate against Golden Arrows. Chippa United were the second-best team on the pitch, but they managed to secure a point on the road. The game was more about the hosts, who created three big chances but couldn’t convert any. Before the game, Chippa United had won back-to-back against Amazulu and Polokwane City. They have now gone three league games without a loss, but still remain ninth on the log. 

Since their disappointing home defeat against Orlando Pirates, Chippa United have won twice and drawn once, as they scored twice to stun Polokwane City. Chippa United have played twenty times in the league, with exceptional performances on their home turf. They have picked up twenty-nine points from a combined sixty-six, scoring twenty-one and conceding eighteen. 

Chilli Boys have won six, lost four, and drawn two at home this season. 

Chippa United: Lineup

The Chilli Boys are not a possession-based team, but they’ll take their chances when they arrive. Looking at their last two games, they have had barely 30% of the ball; however, they picked up four points from a combined. This is an entirely different game, and I think they’ll respect their guests who can hurt any side on their days. So basically, I expect them to deploy a low back and look for their opponent’s lapses and hit them on the counter. Games like this need the resilience of their best player, goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali, and for them to get anything away from this game, he has to be at his best. 

Chippa United Starting Lineup (4-2-3-1)

Stanley Nwabali— Azola Ntsabo, Justice Chabalala, Thabo Makhele, Boy John Madingwana—Sirgio Kammies, Papama Tyongwana—Craig Martin, Ayabulela Konqobe, Giovanni Philander, —Sinoxolo Kwayiba

Head Coach: Thabo September

Last five games: WDLLD

The Amakhosi have hit their all-time low in the league as they are on the verge of missing out on a top-four finish. Kaizer Chiefs head here with another stalemate in the league as they remain in eighth place on the log. The Amakhosi started their most recent game on high, attacking their opponent from the start to the end, and at halftime. After several attempts, Wandile Duba found the back of the net in the 36th minute. As usual, after several missed chances, Kaizer Chiefs were punished in the 80th minute, as Mlungisi Mbunjana levelled for TS Galaxy. Before then, they suffered a (2-1) loss against Golden Arrows on the road. 

Kaizer Chiefs have won twice in their last six games, which is still not the standard required from a top team like Amakhosi. 

Nasreddine Nabi's men have picked up thirty points from a combined seventy-two, scoring twenty-four and conceding twenty-nine.Kaizer Chiefs have lost seven, won three, and drawn two matches over their last twelve away fixtures. 

Kaizer Chiefs: Lineup

This is an important game for Amakhosi, who are gunning for a top-four finish this season. Coach Nasreddine Nabi is known for his attacking style, and I expect them to create more than just chances. Gaston Sirino, who has been influential for Kaizer Chiefs this season, will be the source of their attacking threats. They’ll deploy their usual possession-based game and frustrate their opponent. They will also strive to be extremely careful, as their opponent could cause some damage if given a chance. 

Kaizer Chiefs Starting Eleven (4-2-3-1)

Bruce Bvuma—Bradley Cross, Edmilson Gabriel Dove, Spiwe Msimango, Dillon Solomons—Yusuf Maart, Thabo Cele—Pule Mmodi, Gaston Sirino, Makabi Lilepo—Wandile Duba

Head Coach: Nasreddine Nabi

Chippa United vs Kaizer Chiefs Prediction 19 April 2025

Kaizer Chiefs are buzzing coming into this game following their (1-2) victory over Mamelodi Sundowns in the Nedbank Cup a few days ago. They have been formidable in the competition despite their lacklustre performances in the Betway Premier League. They have now gone four consecutive league matches without a breakthrough, and they’re on the verge of missing out on the CAF Confederation tournament. Kaizer Chiefs have missed (40) big chances this season and have managed to keep five clean sheets in twenty-four league games. 

On the opposing end, Chippa United have lost just once in their last five matches. The Chilli Boys are unbeaten in their last three games despite not being at their best. In their last two matches, Chippa United have had less than (40%) possession of the ball, but still managed to amass four points from a possible six. 

It’s unclear if Kaizer Chiefs will approach this game with the same momentum as against Mamelodi Sundowns. Usually, they have always lost or drawn after performing exceptionally well in Cup games. 

My first option is for Chippa United to win either half as I believe they’ll be compact and attack the guests on the counter; bet on HWEH for 2.21 at (1xbet).

I also think both teams might likely get a goal apiece here as Chippa United and Kaizer Chiefs lack coordination at the back; bet on BTTS for 2.10 at (Bet365).

Chippa United are not the team blessed with players who can hold on to the ball for long, but they can’t frustrate their opponent with their quick counterattack ability. I think they might get a goal before the break for 2.65 at (Betway).

Good luck!
