Chippa United vs SuperSport United: PSL Prediction, scores, kick-off time and head-to-head

Chippa United host SuperSport United in Port Elizabeth on Saturday looking to end off a turbulent year on a high.

The Chilli Boys only just survived the drop last season after pulling off the great escape under Clinton Larsen. However, neither he nor successor Duran Francis survived the full calendar year as 2019-20 got off to a difficult start.

Norman Mapeza has steered the ship back on course, at least for the time being. Heading into the last match of the year, Chippa have moved up to 11th on the table following a 1-0 away win over Cape Town City.

“I was talking to the players straight after the match and telling them ‘we have to remain humble’, Mapeza was quoted as saying by SowetanLIVE.

“In football‚ this is the most dangerous time.

“When things are going like this‚ it is very easy to switch off‚ so what’s important is to maintain the discipline and the positive attitude.”

Should they switch off against SuperSport United, Chippa are in for a tough ride. Matsatsantsa sit third in the league following a tremendous start to the season under Kaitano Tembo.

The list of accolades in 2019-20 keeps growing for the MTN8 champions. Sipho Mbule was named as November’s Premiership player for the month and SuperSport United remain dark horses in the league title race.

Heading into the Christmas break, they have a chance to keep the pressure on Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns.
