Chippa United vs Richards Bay Predictions - Chilli Boys to draw in Soweto
Chippa United and Richards Bay face off in a PSL match with both teams entering on poor form. Chippa have won only two of their last 13 games, while Richards Bay are winless in six. Both sides have been involved in frequent draws and low-scoring matches, suggesting a likely 1-1 result with Under 2.5 goals. Although Chippa hold a historical edge in head-to-head meetings, neither side's current form indicates a clear favorite. This encounter is expected to be closely contested and end in a draw.
- Both teams are out of form, with Chippa winning just 2 of last 13 games and Richards Bay winless in 6.
- Draws and low-scoring matches are common for both sides; under 2.5 goals expected.
- Prediction: 1-1 draw in this PSL clash.

Chippa won 3-0 at home when the sides last met in February 2026.
Chilli Boys’ Form - Two wins in 13
Chippa United’s last 13 PSL fixtures have seen just two wins. At home, it’s three losses in the last five.
A 5-1 thrashing away at AmaZulu was followed by a 3-1 home defeat to Sekhukhune United with 3.48 xG conceded. After drawing 1-1 at TS Galaxy, they lost 2-0 on home turf to Golden Arrows.
A 1-0 win at Kaizer Chiefs on the final day secured their top-flight status. This term began with a 0-0 draw at Golden Arrows with just six box touches and two shots on target.
Winless in Six – Rich Boys with Four Losses in Last Six on the Road
Richards Bay drew a league-high 13 matches in the league last season. They’re currently on a six-match winless run in the PSL.
A 0-0 home vs Mamelodi Sundowns was a fine result, before a 0-0 home draw vs Polokwane City. Two more draws followed, 1-1 at Marumo Gallants and 1-1 at home to Sekhukhune United.
They ended last term on a sour note, losing 1-0 away at bottom-placed Magesi on the final day. This season began in a similar vein, losing 2-1 at home to Polokwane City.
Predicted Lineups & Team News
Chippa United (4-4-1-1): Nwabali; Kammies, Majadibodu, Mobara, Jones; Matrose, Seabi, Mosele, Figuareido; Mfecane; Bonani.
Chippa have held onto winger Justice Figuareido after strong links with a transfer. Stanley Nwabali will play in goal again after his return to the club as he made seven saves in the opening game.
Asanele Bonani could play up front in preference to Muzomuhle Khanyi. The latter was signed on loan from Stellenbosch after the departure of top scorer Sinoxolo Kwayiba.
Richards Bay (4-3-3): Otieno; Mabuya, Mcineka, Jali, Sikhakhane; Nashixwa, Mthembu, Zikhali; Barns, Mahala, Gumede.
Centre back Sbangani Zulu was sold to Orlando Pirates. Striker Gabadinho Mhango is still on the comeback trail after a long injury, and Thembela Sikhakhane is a doubt at left back.
Tlakusani Mthethwa left for Stellenbosch, weakening the midfield. Lundi Mahala may be recalled after netting six goals last term.
Verdict
I see this ending in a draw with Under 2.5 goals.
