Mamelodi Sundowns vs Chippa United FC Prediction: The Brazilians will exert dominance over their uninspiring guests

Mamelodi Sundowns vs Chippa United FC: Prediction and odds on the Match on 07 May 2025

The Brazilians will continue their quest to defend the Betway Premiership title when they face Chippa United at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Wednesday. 

Mamelodi Sundowns, who cruised past Cape Town City on the road, can’t afford to drop points against a struggling but dangerous Chilli Boys tomorrow. A win for the guests will aid their dream of finishing in the top half of the table, while a victory for the Brazilians means they have to win their next game on Sunday to be crowned the champions for the eighth consecutive campaign.

Mamelodi Sundowns: form and statistics

Last five games: DWLWW

The Brazilians' last two league matches have been a pretty solid, winning back to back while finding the back of the net five times. Mamelodi Sundowns are now twelve points ahead of Orlando Pirates at the top of the league, and it’s almost certain they’ll secure their eighth consecutive league titles. 

More recently, Mamelodi Sundowns defeated a struggling Cape Town City on the road. It wasn’t a smooth start for the Brazilians, who conceded the first shot in the game; however, they retaliated several times and broke the deadlock in the 34th minute through Tashreeq Matthews. Mamelodi Sundowns extended their lead in the 77th minute when Iqraam Rayners found the back of the net. The game was sealed on the road as Mamelodi Sundowns did the double over Cape Town City. This was after their emphatic (3-0) victory over Richards Bay, as Arthur Sales, Iqraam Rayners, and Marcelo Allende were all on the scoresheet. 

The Brazilians have picked up ten points from their last fifteen and are still twelve points ahead on the Betway Premiership standings. Miguel Cardoso’s men have won twenty, drawn once, and lost three in twenty-four Betway Premiership games, scoring fifty-four and conceding thirteen. 

Mamelodi Sundowns have won all eleven league matches on their ground this campaign. 

Mamelodi Sundowns: Lineup

Coach Miguel Cardoso is blessed with top players who can come on to make a difference in any league match. The Portuguese will continue to tweak his team to give rest to some players just for their showdown against Pyramids in the final of the CAF Champions League. No new injury was recorded against Cape Town City, and we might likely see the same starting eleven tomorrow. 

Mamelodi Sundowns Potential Starting Lineup (4-2-3-1)

Ronwen Williams—Khuliso Mudau, Grant Kekana, Mosa Lebisa, Aubrey Modiba—Teboho Mokoena, Marcelo Allende—Jayden Adams, Tashreeq Matthews, Lucas Ribeiro—Iqraam Rayners

Out: Lebo Mothiba, Rivaldo Coetzee, Siyabonga Mabena

Head Coach: Miguel Cardoso 

Chippa United: form and statistics

Last five games: WDDLL

The Chilli Boys are having a tough time in recent weeks, heading here with another disastrous performance on the road. Chippa United have now gone four league matches without a breakthrough, but somehow managed to keep their spot on the log. More recently, they suffered a (2-0) loss against a winless Supersport United on the road. Chippa United started the game poorly and conceded within seventeen minutes on the pitch, despite their attacking threats, and trying to overturn a goal deficit, they were hit by the hosts in the 48th minute. To make matters worse, consistent midfielder, Sirgio Kammies, was shown a red card in the 91st minute. This was after they were narrowly beaten by Stellenbosch on the road, despite their resilience in the game. Thabo September's men have found the back of the net in two of their last nine Betway Premiership games, as scoring has been an issue for them. 

Chippa United have played twenty-five times in the Betway Premiership and have recorded eight wins. The Chilli Boys have picked up thirty points from a combined seventy-five, scoring twenty-one and conceding twenty-one. 

Chilli Boys have won two, lost seven, and drawn three on the road this season. 

Chippa United Lineup

The Chilli Boys lack some depth in their attacking department, and after Enock Sakala's injury, Chippa United brought in Seun Ndlovu to lead the line. The defender has managed just one goal all season, and we are not sure how Chippa United will put the ball into the net against Mamelodi Sundowns. More importantly, they’ll be without Sirgio Kammies, who has played almost all their games this campaign. 

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

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

Out: Enock Sakala, Sergio Kammies

Head Coach: Thabo September

Mamelodi Sundowns vs Chippa United FC match prediction 07 May 2025

Chippa United have been playing terribly in recent weeks, and they have now gone four consecutive Betway Premiership matches without a breakthrough. The Chilli Boys were beaten by a Supersport United who were winless in seven successive games. On the other hand, Mamelodi Sundowns are cruising to their eighth consecutive league title, and they need to win two of their next five matches to secure the trophy. They’ll be keen to wrap up the league just before their CAF finals and to focus on the forthcoming FIFA World Club Cup tournament. 

Mamelodi Sundowns have an extremely talented squad, and regardless of who they feature, they’ll always get the job done. They are presently the best team in the country, but they must be careful against Chippa United, who will likely defend throughout the 90 minutes here. 

Looking at how Chippa United have played in recent weeks, and their injury situation, I think Mamelodi Sundowns might run riot. I believe Mamelodi Sundowns will always find a way to get the job done, and I’m trusting them to exert dominance over their guests.
