Chippa United have made an excellent start to the 2021/22 DStv Premiership after narrowly avoiding relegation last season.

They beat Sekhukhune United 1-0 in their opening match and then held defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns to a goalless draw at home in their second outing to sit on four points after two matches – and fourth in the standings.

Chippa United will next be in action on Sunday, 12 September when they travel to face Royal AM.

Kick-off is scheduled for 15:00.
