Chippa United and Kaizer Chiefs have announced their line-ups for today’s Betway Premiership clash at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.
Amakhosi come in this game on a high after their last-minute win over Mamelodi Sundowns in the Nedbank Cup semi-final.
However, in the league Nasreddine Nabi’s men are on a poor run of just two points in four games. Today is a crucial clash for either side’s top 8 hopes, with Chiefs sitting just one point ahead of the Chilly Boys, who have two games in hand.
Chippa have picked up good wins over Polokwane City and AmaZulu before drawing 0-0 with Golden Arrows to enter the game full of confidence.
The two sides have faced each other twice this season already, with Chiefs winning both – a 1-0 in the reverse fixture in the league and a 3-0 in the Nedbank Cup. Of the last five games in Gqeberha, Chiefs have won four, but lost the last encounter in June 2024.
Here is how they line up:
Chippa XI: tbc.

Chiefs XI: Bvuma, Solomons, Kwinika, Dove, Cross, Maart, Cele, Sirino, Mmodi, Duba, Morris
