Durban City vs Chippa United: Prediction and odds on the Match on 13 August 2025

The Chilli Boys will lock horns against the newly promoted Durban City FC at the Chatsworth Stadium in an end-to-end game on Wednesday. After a successful opening day display against defending champions, Mamelodi Sundowns, Chippa United will be keen to secure their first win of the season against the newly promoted Durban City. 

Durban City FC: form and statistics

Gavin Hunt’s men kicked off their new campaign in great spirits, defeating an established TS Galaxy on the road. Durban City were obviously the underdog; however, the game turned the other way round when Maseko opened the scoreline after the break. Some minutes later, the newly promoted side doubled their lead as Mkhize found the back of the net. TS Galaxy controlled the game but were unable to convert their chances as Durban City started their Betway Premiership debut with an emphatic away victory. 

Durban City picked up three points from their first game, scoring twice without conceding. The hosts currently occupy the second place on the log. 

Gavin Hunt’s men were pretty comfortable on their ground last season in Division Two, and they’ll be keen to keep the same pace in the Betway Premiership.

Durban City FC Lineup

The newly promoted side have acquired some experienced players, making them one of the few teams predicted to finish in the top half of the log. Gavin Hunt will lead his side at home for the first time ever, and the tactician is expected to start with a victory.

Durban City Potential Starting lineup (4-2-3-1)

Keet—Mhikze, Kock, Ncanana, Maphathe—Jodwana, Poggenpoel—Domingo, Mokwena, Maseko—Kamatuka

Head coach: Gavin Hunt

Chippa United FC: form and statistics

Sinethemba Badela’s men began the season on a decent note, settling for a stalemate against the defending champions, Mamelodi Sundowns. The result didn’t tell the exact things that unfolded in the game, as I believe the Chilli Boys were lucky to have amassed all the points. After lots of threats from Mamelodi Sundowns, they broke the deadlock in the 32nd minute giving them a halftime advantage. The game maintained the same momentum after the break; however, Mfecane's goal in the 65th minute ensured Chippa United secured a point against a formidable opponent. It was a total dominance from their opponent; unfortunately, the guests couldn’t convert their chances. 

Chippa United didn’t finish strong last season, and they’ll be keen to do better this time. The Chilli Boys were pretty terrible on the road last campaign, and we can’t tell how they’ll react to this game. 

Chippa United Lineup

The Chilli Boys played five at the back against Mamelodi Sundowns, defending for almost the entire game. Things will be different against their opponent tomorrow, and we expect a more open encounter. 

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

Stanley Nwabali— Ndolvo, Konqobe, Modise, Sithole—Sirgio Kammies, Seabi—Goodman, Matrose, Seabi, Konqobe, Bonani

Head Coach: Sinethemba Badela

Durban City vs Chippa United: Betting Tips & Odds

Durban City have started their new campaign on a decent note, scoring twice against a solid TS Galaxy side. Durban City have some quality players in their ranks, and considering they employed one of the most experienced coaches in the Betway Premiership, I expect them to do well this campaign.

Meanwhile, Chippa United stood their ground against the defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns, splitting points at home. They defended so well and were precise in front of goal. 

Chippa United always perform well against top teams and sometimes fail to turn up against teams below the top half of the log. I might be wrong, but I don’t see any reason why they would win against a confident Durban City. I expect the hosts to at least pick up a point on their home ground as they possess the quality to get the job done. 

My Prediction for this game is Durban City FC to win or draw and score more than once, with a coefficient of 2.20 on the 1xbet bookmaker.

My betting tip for this match is Durban City FC to win at a coefficient of 2.30 on the Betway bookmaker. 

My final betting tip for the match is for the home team to score first for a coefficient of 1.85 on the Bet365 bookmaker.

Good luck!
