Chippa United Form

Chippa finished 15th in the PSL last season but survived the relegation playoffs. Four-time league winning coach Gavin Hunt was appointed prior to this season after losing his job at Kaizer Chiefs.

The Chili Boys suffered a poor 2-1 defeat at Bloemfontein Celtic before a 0-0 draw at Marumo Gallants. They could only draw 1-1 at SuperSport United on the final day.

In the relegation playoffs Chippa United beat Richards Bay 2-1 and drew 1-1 in the return fixture. That was enough to secure them another term in the Premier Soccer League.

This season started with a very good defensive performance against new boys, Sekhukhune United. Vuluyeke Zulu scored an early goal to secure a 1-0 victory away from home.

Chippa United Team News

Right-back's Nyiko Mobbie and Gregory Damons have departed the club so Zuko Mdunyelwa should fill that void.

New signing Jemondre Dickens is back from injury so should make his debut up front. That is likely to be off the bench with Bienvenu Eva Nga leading the line from the start.

Mamelodi Sundowns Form

Sundowns won a fourth successive PSL title last season and were beaten just once in the league. They had the best defensive record with 19 clean sheets in 30 matches.

Downs retained the league with a 3-1 win against rivals SuperSport United. A 2-0 win at Bloemfontein Celtic came next before a 3-0 thrashing of Cape Town City on the final day.

The Brazilians started their season with a penalty shootout victory in the MTN8 against Kaizer Chiefs after a 2-2 draw in normal time.

On the opening PSL weekend Sundowns defeated AmaZulu 1-0 at home thanks to a Themba Zwane penalty just before the break. It was a reasonably even match with both teams only seeing one shot on target.

Mamelodi Sundowns Team News

Sundowns are expected to be without first choice goalkeeper Denis Onyango due to a finger injury. Kennedy Mweene will deputise.

Midfield workhorse Lebohang Maboe is out with an achilles injury. Strikers Kermit Erasmus and Gift Motupa are doubts so Slovak forward Pavol Safranko could make his first start.
