Durban City vs Chippa United Predictions

These clubs met a week ago in the league. I see Durban City continuing their strong home form and winning to zero in this Nedbank Cup clash.

Key Stats – Strong Home Form vs Poor Away Form

Durban City have won 2 of their last 3 matches.
Durban City have won 6 of their last 9 home matches.
Chippa United have lost 9 of their last 13 away matches.
Chippa United have failed to score in their last 3 away matches.

Head to Head – One Win Each

These clubs have met on just two previous occasions.

Durban City won 1-0 at home in August, before Chippa won 2-0 in the return fixture in January.

Durban City Form – Two Wins in Three Matches

Durban City sit sixth in the PSL table with 25 points. Coach Gavin Hunt was sacked after a 2-0 home defeat to Orlando Pirates in December.

That loss made it four defeats in six matches in all competitions. A fine 3-0 win followed at struggling Orbit College.

With new coach Sinethemba Badela in place, Durban City beat Polokwane City 1-0 at home after the AFCON break. Their last match saw a 2-0 loss at 15th-placed Chippa United.

Chippa United Form – Two Wins in Two after One Win in 23

Chippa were on a run of one victory in 23 matches. They’ve since won successive fixtures to climb out of the relegation zone.

After losing 2-0 at Orlando Pirates, they drew their last two matches before the AFCON break. A 0-0 stalemate at Siwelele followed a 0-0 home draw vs Kaizer Chiefs as they were outshot 17-6.

Chippa won 1-0 at Orbit College in a key relegation battle. Last Saturday, they beat Durban City 2-0 at home despite being outshot 14-8.

Predicted Lineups & Team News

Durban City (4-2-3-1): Keet; Jalai, Gcaba, Mkhize, Mashego; Jurgens, Jodwana; Maseko, Domingo, Magawana; Koapeng.

Durban City have an injury doubt over striker Joslin Kamatuka. Ronaldo Maarman is pushing for a start after arriving from Sekhukhune United.

Left winger Siphiwe Mahlangu has been signed. He is available to make his debut.

Chippa United (4-3-3): Msibi; Madingwana, Majadibodu, Mobara, Modise; Mosele, Kammies, Konqobe; Figuareido, Kwayiba, Matrose.

The Chilli Boys signed Sinoxolo Kwayiba in the transfer window from Orlando Pirates. He scored a brace in the 2-0 win over Durban City as a false nine.

Bongani Sam has been acquired to boost the left back area. Nigerian goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali has seen his contract terminated by mutual consent.

Verdict

Durban City v Chippa United

I see Durban City winning this match. A win to zero is my predictions, due to Chippa's troubles in scoring goals on the road.
