One of the key matches in Matchweek 8 of the South African Premier Division is set for Wednesday at Polokwane stadium. League leaders Sekhukhune United will face off against struggling Chippa United. This clash offers a promising betting opportunity.

Match preview

The home team is enjoying a strong season. After seven matches, Eric Tinkler’s side leads the league with 19 points, having won six and drawn once. They have a stellar defensive record, conceding only two goals, the best in the league.

In their last game, Sekhukhune secured a close win against Golden Arrows (1-0), proving their capability to deliver results. On the offensive side, they are scoring nearly two goals per game this season, with particularly strong home performance—achieving three wins and a draw without any losses.

In contrast, Chippa United is struggling. Positioned at 16th, they have managed only four points from seven games, losing five, including all three away matches without gaining any points. Their recent match ended in a defeat to Polokwane City (1-2), adding to their difficulties.

With only five goals scored and 13 conceded, Chippa’s performance raises concerns about relegation. Under Sinethemba Badela, the team appears disorganized and lacks both defensive solidity and attacking creativity.
