After registering their first win of the year, Chippa United will be looking to remove themselves from the Betway Premiership relegation zone when they welcome Durban City at the Buffalo City Stadium in East London on Saturday (3.30pm). The Eastern Cape side are currently in 15th place on 12 points and a win or a draw could move them into 14th and off the chopping block. Chippa spent the majority of the first half of the season at the bottom of the log.
But they received a boost when they beat Orbit College away 1-0 in Rustenburg thanks to a goal from Justice Figuareido last weekend. Head coach Vusumuzi Vilakazi wants the team to ride on the success of that Orbit result. But he also wants his side to be more clinical in front of goal in the Durban City game.
Chippa’s offensive prowess has been disappointing this season. Together with Siwelele, they are the only teams that are yet to reach double figures in terms of goals scored. They will have to bury each chance they get and also tighten the screws on their defence, where they have conceded 21 goals.
