Richards Bay vs Chippa United Predictions - Chilli Boys’ Misery to Continue in Cup Exit

Richards Bay are predicted to win narrowly against Chippa United, despite Chippa's superior historical head-to-head record. Chippa United's recent poor form, with just one win in their last 16 matches and significant struggles in scoring, gives Richards Bay the edge, especially at home. Key player absences, such as Magoola for Richards Bay, are noted, but defensive solidity and recent performances tip the scales. The article suggests a 1-0 victory for Richards Bay and recommends 'Both Teams to Score - No' as a solid betting option.

Richards Bay Form & Team News


After starting this season with four straight defeats, Richards Bay strung together a five-match unbeaten streak. They lost last time out to come back down to earth. 

A 1-0 home win vs Chippa United was followed by a 0-0 draw at Siwelele. Following a 1-1 home draw with TS Galaxy, they won 1-0 away to Stellenbosch with just 30% possession.

After allowing just four shots in a 1-0 win over Magesi, they were humbled 4-1 by Mamelodi Sundowns. They allowed 3.70 xG and seven big chances in that defeat.

Richards Bay are without goalkeeper Salim Magoola due to injury. Gabadinho Mhango is suspended in attack. 

Striker Knox Mutizwa is nearing match fitness to boost options. Tshepo Mabua is injured in defence with Thabani Zuke in line to deputise.

Richards Bay Predicted Lineup


Otieno; Vilakazi, Mcineka, Zuke, Khumalo; Mthembu, Mthethwa; Ngema, Zikali, Thikazi; Bomelo.

Chippa United Form & Team News


Chippa’s last 16 matches going back to last season, have seen just one win. They sit bottom of the PSL table having allowed a league-high 14.30 xG Against this term.

A meek 3-0 home loss to Orlando Pirates saw no shots on target. They beat Orbit College 2-1 to end their winless run of 12 matches. 

A last-minute goal leaked saw a 2-1 loss at Polokwane City with 2.59 xG allowed. Two strong draws followed against two of last season’s top four – 1-1 draw away at Sekhukhune United and a 0-0 at home to Stellenbosch.

Chippa coach had key man Stanley Nwabali back in goal last time out. He put a disciplinary issue behind him to captain the side. 

Bienvenu Eva Nga has been re-signed after initially departing in the transfer window. He may lead the line in a defensive 4-5-1 setup.

Chippa United Predicted Lineup


Nwabali; Kammies, Ndlovu, Fasika, Modise; Madingwana, Mosele, Seabi, Konqobe, Sithole; Eva Nga.
