Stellenbosch FC vs Chippa United FC: Prediction and odds on the Match on 30 April 2025

Stellenbosch FC will square off against Chippa United FC at the Danie Craven Stadium on Wednesday. The Stellies, who were knocked out in the CAF Confederation Cup semifinal, will now focus on returning to the competition next season. It hasn't been rosy for them in the Betway Premiership, with two wins in their last four matches. They'll host a stubborn Chilli Boys tomorrow, and Stellenbosch FC have to adjust on their own turf as quickly as possible.

Stellenbosch FC: form and statistics

Last five games: WDWLW

The Stellies returned to winning ways after their shocking (1-0) loss against Magesi on the road. Stellenbosch FC, despite resting some of their key players, secured the maximum points over Amazulu at home. Steve Barker's men created four big chances but managed to convert only one. Sanele Barns broke the deadlock in the 29th minute as Stellenbosch protected their early lead with all they had. The win pushed them to fourth place on the standings, and despite playing two games less than Sekhunkhune United, they stand a chance of finishing in third place. 

Stellenbosch FC have lost just once in their last nine matches, finding the back of the net in seven games. They have been one of the most consistent teams in the division lately, barring their loss against a stubborn Magesi. 

The Stellies have picked up thirty-eight points from a combined sixty-nine, scoring twenty-eight and conceding seventeen. 

Steven Baker's men have drawn five, lost three games, and won three matches on their ground this season. 

Stellenbosch FC Lineup

Coach Steve Baker's men will have to tweak his side and give some players who were involved in their most recent game in the CAF Confederation Cup some rest. He's a well-respected tactician and his side are capable of defeating any team in the competition. The only notable absentee here is Ashley Cupido, who has missed their last three matches. 

Stellenbosch FC Potential Starting Lineup (4-2-3-1)

Sage Stephen’s—Omega Mdaka, Thabo Moloisane, Ismael Olivier Toure, Sanele Barns—Thato Khiba, Sihle Nduli—Phili Langelihle, Lesiba Nku, Devis Titus—Andre De Jong

Out: Ashely Cupido

Head Coach: Steven Baker

Chippa United FC: form and statistics

Last five games: LWWDD

The Chilli Boys are unbeaten in four games in the Betway Premiership for the first time since 2023. Chippa United stood their ground against Kaizer Chiefs to split points (0-0). The guests didn't do much in that particular encounter, managing just a shot on target. Chippa United United were saved by the heroic display of their best player, Stanley Nwabali. The goalkeeper has been in blistering form for Chippa United this season, with nine clean sheets in the division. Before their fixture against Kaizer Chiefs, Chippa United also settled for a share of the spoils on the road against Amazulu, firing a shot at goal. 

Thabo September's men have found the back of the net in two of their last seven Betway Premiership games. 

Chippa United have played twenty-three times in the league, with exceptional performances on their home turf. They have picked up thirty points from a combined sixty-nine, scoring twenty-one and conceding eighteen. 

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

Chippa United FC Lineup

Coach Thabo September's tactics aren't a possession-based team, and they hardly create meaningful chances, especially when playing on the road. Judging from their three Betway Premiership games, they have had barely 30% of the ball. I expect Chippa United to deploy a low back, 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 Potential Starting Lineup (4-2-3-1)

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

Head Coach: Thabo September

Stellenbosch FC vs Chippa United FC match prediction 30 April 2025

Stellenbosch head into this meeting after their painful exit in the CAF Confederation Cup semifinal. They were knocked out by an incredible Simba SC side from Tanzania. We are unsure how they'll approach this particular game but one thing is certain, they have a very tactical coach in Steve Baker. 

Stellenbosch are a side that can create chances from nowhere, as the skillful Devin Titus and Lekoloane are capable of causing havoc for opposition defenders. They'll face off against Chippa United who lack the ability to keep the ball but can actually defend well.

Chippa United won't go head-to-head against the Stellies; it'll be their usual tactic of sitting back and hitting their opponent on the counter. The first goal matters in this game, and I can boldly say Stellenbosch will score the first goal here. 

Stellenbosch are pretty dangerous, but I'm worried about their recent form at home and the fact that they might not be in the right shape for this encounter. 

Our match prediction is for Stellenbosch to win or draw and score more than a goal for a coefficient of 1.75 on the 1xbet bookmaker. 

Our betting tip on this match is for this game to witness more goals after the break for a coefficient of 2.24 on Betway bookmaker.

Our final betting tip for this game is for Stellenbosch to secure the maximum points on their ground for 1.75 on Bet365 bookmaker. 

Good luck!
