Chippa United have a big game in the 18th round of matches in the South African Premier Soccer League (PSL) when they host title chasing Oralndo Pirates. The hosts are 12th with 16 points in the league standings while Pirates have 32 points, in third place. For Chippa United, it has been a rough ride in the season, as they’ve won just three of their 17 league matches so far. They are currently only four points above the relegation zone and just one clean sheet in the last six matches doesn’t place them well ahead of this clash with one of the best attacking sides. Their only clean sheet in six matches came in the last game, as they drew 0-0 with Cape Town City on Wednesday. Chippa are not big in attack; they’ve averaged less than a goal a game, scoring 16 in 17 matches in the league.

They labored through a 1-0 win over Bloemfontein Celtic in their last game, despite their opponents having a player sent off in the 45th minute. The visitors have four wins in the last five matches and are unbeaten in the last seven games, while losing just once in 12. In the last five matches they’ve kept three clean sheets and are the third best defensive side in the PSL, having conceded 15 goals in 19 matches. Pirates have failed to score in one of their last 11 matches and in the league, they head here with just one loss, and four clean sheets in the last eight.
