Kaizer Chiefs continue to quietly make strides in the Betway Premiership and now turn their attention to Chippa United in their latest league encounter at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on Wednesday evening.

Kick-off: 19:30 (CAT, GMT +2) live on SuperSport channel 202 and live stream Showmax sport.

Current Form

Chiefs were in continental action over the weekend, earning a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Egyptian giants Zamalek in a CAF Confederation Cup Group D clash at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday.

On the domestic front, Amakhosi have recorded back-to-back league wins against Durban City and Orbit College. In their last five Premiership outings, Chiefs have registered two victories and three draws, placing them fourth on the log with 22 points from 11 matches.

Chippa United, meanwhile, have endured a challenging campaign. The Chilli Boys sit in 16th position with just eight points from 14 matches. Their most recent result was a goalless draw against Siwelele at the Dr. Petrus Molemela Stadium on 29 November.

What Was Said

Following the Zamalek stalemate, Chiefs co-coach Cedric Kaze hinted that Gaston Sirino could miss the trip to Gqeberha due to a knock.

“It was a knock and we’re going to assess him to examine the extent of his injury, but I don’t think it’s something very big,” Kaze explained.

Reflecting on the CAF clash, Kaze praised his side’s resilience:
“Okay, the game didn’t go in our favour from the first minute – we conceded after three minutes. We had to make two substitutions after 15 minutes, but we kept believing we could come back. We scored at the very end, and I’m so proud of the boys. With this mentality and display, I’m pretty sure we’ll qualify.”

Players to Watch

Kaizer Chiefs: Mduduzi Shabalala – With Sirino doubtful, Shabalala will shoulder creative responsibility. The talented youngster has been one of Chiefs’ standout performers in recent months, netting three goals so far this season. He’ll be eager to add to his tally against Chippa.

Chippa United: Sirgio Kammies – The 27-year-old impressed in the recent draw with Siwelele, earning the Man of the Match award. Against Chiefs’ pacey attack, Kammies will need to lead his defensive line with composure and awareness.
