On form Kaizer Chiefs visit Port Elizabeth (PE) to face struggling Chippa United in the Absa Premiership at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium Wednesday Nov. 6, 2019 at 19:30 this evening.
At the back of a difficult loss to Mamelodi Sundowns in the Telkom Knock-out Cup (TKO), Chippa face yet another hard-to-clear huddle at home, PE.
The Chilli Boys are without a win in nine matches. They are rooted at the bottom of the league with a meager four (4) points; dropping maximum points under the relatively new coach Norman Mapeza may spell disaster.
Amakhosi are at the top of the league table and their coach Ernest Middendorp will egg on his players to extend their lead at the expense of lethargic Chippa.
