This afternoon, Chippa United and Stellenbosch will face off at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha. Both teams are coming off successes last week and will be looking to build on that momentum as they battle for a spot in the top eight.
The Chilli Boys ended a seven-game winless streak with a 1-0 victory over Maritzburg United at home last weekend, taking them up to seventh in the DStv Premiership. Meanwhile, Stellenbosch had a dramatic 3-2 win over Cape Town City in the Cape derby, which put them five points away from the relegation zone.
The Stellies also bolstered their squad with the signing of Iqraam Rayners from SuperSport United on the final day of the transfer window. Both teams have strong lineups, and the match is shaping up to be an exciting one.
Chippa United’s lineup is comprised of: Kazapua, Mdunyelwa, Ntsabo, Pietersen, Mkhize, Maarman, Mathiane, Konqobe, Lebitso, Luthuli, and Ighodaro. Stellenbosch’s lineup includes Stephens, Makhanya, Mcaba, Van Rooyen, Mthethwa, Mendieta, Sibande, Jabaar, De Jong, Titus, and Rayners.
