Chippa United vs Kruger United predictions (14:30)

Under 2.5 Goals - 1.53

New Chippa boss Brandon Truter finally secured a first win since his summer appointment just before the international break thanks to the Chilli Boys’ narrow 1-0 triumph at TS Galaxy.

Chippa created just one big chance and 0.68 in xG in that slender win and that output has been typical of their performances so far this season. They’ve hit the net just four times in seven matches combined since the start of the campaign.

Kruger meanwhile, have had similar issues in the final third, netting just three goals in 630 minutes of Premiership football. In fact, no team in the division has scored less often so far. With both teams struggling to create, Saturday’s fixture is unlikely to be a thriller.

Chippa United Draw no Bet – 1.65

Chippa’s victory over TS Galaxy felt like a milestone moment for new head coach Brandon Truter and they have an opportunity to build some momentum when they host an uninspiring Kruger outfit.

The hosts have lost only once in seven games in the Premiership this term, and though a series of five draws during that stretch was a source of frustration, Chippa have, at least, been tough to beat.

In contrast, newly-promoted Kruger lost five of their opening seven assignments in the division, and failed to score in three of their last four. That record should lift Chippa ahead of Saturday’s face-off, though the Chilli Boys’ goal-getting issues call for some caution in the markets. Back Chippa with a draw no bet safety net here.

Chippa United vs Kruger United Team News and Injury Update

Sammy Seabi was withdrawn at half time in Chippa’s win over TS Galaxy last time out and is a slight doubt ahead of Saturday’s game. Stanley Nwabali should keep his place between the sticks, while Sirgio Kammies is pushing to start having made a decent impact off the bench against Galaxy.

Kruger will be without the suspended Katlego Mohamme, who was sent off against Stellenbosch before the international break. Midfielder Tatenda Tavengwa came off injured after 28 minutes in the same game and could be absent.
