Marumo Gallants vs Chippa United FC: Prediction and odds on the Match on 17 May 2025

With three games to halt this incredible season, Marumo Gallants will face off against Chippa United on Saturday at the DR Petrus Molemela Stadium in an attempt to extend their league unbeaten run to six.

Marumo Gallants are seven points above the relegation play-off zone, and a win here will cement their place in next season’s Betway Premiership. On the other hand, Chippa United will be keen to flip the script, having gone six games without a breakthrough.

Chippa United: form and statistics

Last five games: DLLLL

The Chilli Boys have been below par lately, heading here with four consecutive losses and winless in six. Chippa United, who showed character at some point in the league, are about to lose most of their accumulated points.

More recently, they were humiliated on their own ground against the champions, Mamelodi Sundowns. It was a total class from their guests, who scored three times from six shots at goal. Chippa United, who managed just two shots on goal, were nowhere near their best, although Mamelodi Sundowns are class ahead of them. 

Chippa United have failed to win any of their last six games, conceding nine without finding the back of the net. 

Thabo September's men have found the back of the net in two of their last eleven Betway Premiership games, as scoring has been an issue for them. 

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

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

Chippa United Lineup

The Chilli Boys have failed to score in their last six league matches, with their central striker, Sinoxolo Kwayiba, failing to score since March. Chippa United lack depth in their attacking department, and after Enock Sakala's injury. 

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

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

Marumo Gallants vs Chippa United FC match prediction 17 May 2025

Marumo Gallants have surpassed their expectations this campaign, and with a win against Chippa United on Saturday, they’ll be guaranteed a Betway Premiership stay. It wasn’t like this the last time they were in the South Africa Premiership. On the other hand, Chippa United are looking for every way possible to return to winning ways, after six games without a breakthrough.

The guests are struggling to express themselves in front of goal, having gone six matches without finding the back of the net. Chippa United have some important players who are nursing injuries, and they’ll need more than luck to secure the maximum points.

Marumo Gallants have been pretty decent on the road and not on their ground. They have managed one win on their home turf this campaign, and we can’t guarantee them the maximum points due to their inconsistency. However, I’ll still choose them over the guests, who have been pretty timid in front of goal.

Marumo Gallants are expected to score here, but because football can be unpredictable, I think the guests will likely get a goal. 

Our match prediction is a HWEH for a coefficient of 1.60 on the Betway bookmaker.

Our betting tip on this game is for Marumo Gallants to score before the break for a coefficient of 2.07 on the Bet365 bookmaker.

Our final betting tip on this game is for Marumo Gallants to win or draw and score more than a goal for a coefficient of 1.90 on the 1xbet bookmaker. 

Good luck!
