Chilli Boys’ Improving Form - Two wins in 14 but Three Unbeaten
Chippa United’s last 14 league matches have yielded just two wins. They’ve lost three of their last six home matches.
After three losses in four matches, they ended last term on a high note by winning 1-0 at Kaizer Chiefs. They win guaranteed their top-flight status and secured coach Brandon Truter the role on a permanent basis.
This season started with a 0-0 draw away at Golden Arrows with just six box touches and two shots on target. In midweek, a lead was surrendered in a 1-1 home draw vs Richards Bay.
Pirates With 22 Wins in Last 30 PSL Matches – Slow Start to This Season
Pirates won 21 of their final 28 league matches in the 2025-26 season to complete a league and domestic cups treble. This season has seen some below-par performances so far.
They ended their 14-year wait for a league title on the final day of last season as they beat Orbit College 2-0. This season began with a 2-0 home win over Milford as they finally killed off the game towards the end.
Last Saturday, they outshot Durban City 41-7 after extra time as they eventually found the winner in a 2-1 success. In midweek, a lead was thrown away and several good chances were missed in a 1-1 draw away at AmaZulu.
Predicted Lineups & Team News
Chippa United (4-5-1): Nwabali; Kammies, Majadibodu, Mobara, Jones; Matrose, Tshabalala, Seabi, Mosele, Figuareido; Mlotshwa.
Right back Sirgio Kammies missed the match vs Richards Bay but should return to start this one.
Ntuthuko Mlotshwa scored in the last match and may again start up front, where Chippa look short of a proven striker.
Orlando Pirates (4-2-3-1): Chaine; Sebelebele, Seema, Sibisi, Hotto; Dansin, Mokobodi; Appollis, Maswanganyi, Moremi; Pedersen.
Orlando Pirates are without three long-term injury victims. Central midfielders Thalente Mbatha and Sihle Nduli are ruled out, as is target man Evidence Makgopa.
We could see a debut for Norwegian striker Sebastian Pedersen. Oswin Appollis is expected to be recalled on the wing after surprisingly being benched for the midweek match.
Verdict
I'm backing a Pirates win on the -1 handicap and with a clean sheet.
Pirates win to nil
