Their last meeting was in October 2020 as Cape Town City drew 1-1 at home with Chippa.

Since Chippa United reappointed Dan Malesela as coach, the side have improved their results and performances. They reached this round of the Nedbank Cup by beating Free State Stars on penalties after a 2-2 draw at home.

After winning 1-0 away at TS Galaxy, Chippa drew 1--1 at Swallows and then won 3-0 against Black Leopards on the road. A 2-0 away defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns was next.

Chippa then beat Free State Stars in the cup before a 1-1 draw at Bloemfontein Celtic. In their last match, Chippa drew 1-1 at home to TS Galaxy as Andile Mbenyane scored. Isaac Nhlapo was red carded in the dying minutes.

Chippa United Injuries & Team News

Chippa United have been playing with a false nine but target man Beinvenu Eva Nga is hoping to get the nod for this match.

Isaac Nhlapo is suspended at centre back. Utility player Ryan Rae joined Maritzburg United this week but newly signed winger Bongile Booi could make his first start since arriving.

Cape Town City played Bloemfontein Celtic in the previous round of the Nedbank Cup and progressed with a fine 4-0 win after four second half goals. The team sits 7th in the Premier Soccer League table after a four match winless run.

After ending Golden Arrows’ unbeaten run with a 4-2 home victory, Cape Town City drew 1-1 at Baroka and then beat Celtic 4-0 in the Nedbank Cup. A 2-0 away defeat against Orlando Pirates came next before a 2-1 loss at SuperSport United.

In their last match, City drew 1-1 at home with Swallows. Mduduzi Mdantsane scored their goal from the penalty spot. Despite playing the final 24 minutes against ten men, they could not find a winner.

Cape Town City Injuries & Team News

Cape Town City will be without Edmilson Dove at left back due to injury. Terrence Mashego has been struggling in his place so Ioannis Potouridis could cover in an unfamiliar role.

Aubrey Ngoma is fit after injury and could feature on the wing whilst newly signed midfielder Abdul Ajagun should make his full debut.
