Kaizer Chiefs had a terrible start to the season, but they have stormed up the table to currently sit 4th on 17 points just 2 points behind Mamelodi Sundowns who have played a game less.
Chiefs are undefeated in their last 5 matches and have won 3 on the trot, most recently beating Stellenbosch 3-1 on the road and their last home game was a 2-1 victory over SuperSport United. Overall at home this season Chiefs have won 3 and drawn 1, scoring 6 goals in those 4 matches while conceding just once.
Chippa United are currently 11th on the table and also in some pretty good form having won back-to-back matches at home to Marumo Gallants and away at AmaZulu. Chippa United have one of the better away records in the League with 2 wins and a draw in their 5 matches and while Chiefs home games average only 1.8 goals this season Chippa United away games have averaged 2.8 goals each with over 2.5 goal backers collecting profits in 3 of their 5 matches.
Looking at Chiefs recent matches an interesting stat is that both teams have found the net in their last 4 games so punters may well be tempted by this at what looks a generous price of 13/10.
Chiefs did the double over Chippa United last season winning this fixture 4-0 and the reverse 3-1 at Chippa United.
Other markets of interest are over 2.5 goals at 15/10, a typical price for PSL games which are generally low scoring. Going over 2.5 goals would have arrived in Chiefs last 3 matches and in 2 of Chippa United’s last 4 so the 15/10 price doesn’t look bad.
At the end of the day though the best bet for me is Kaizer Chiefs to continue their recent winning run and to grab 3 points. The Soweto giants are priced at 8/10 and that is enough to get me involved.
