These two teams have not yet played each other this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 2 draws each.
Sede Junior Dion and Ntshangase are the top scorers for Tshakhuma in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. Chippa United is glad to have Evanga in top form. In the last five matches the attacker has scored four goals.
