As the DSTV Premiership action continues on Tuesday, let’s take a closer look to see who is in action in these encounters that promise excitement and intensity.
CAPE TOWN CITY FC vs CHIPPA UNITED
Venue: DHL Cape Town Stadium (19h30)
Cape Town City’s head coach, Eric Tinkler, is keen to capitalize on their recent run of excellent form when they face Chippa United at the Cape Town Stadium.
City secured three consecutive wins in the DSTV Premiership for the first time this season, defeating Richards Bay 3-1 in Durban last Sunday. This run has propelled them to fourth place in the standings, only eight points behind the league leaders, Mamelodi Sundowns.
Morgan Mammila’s Chippa United have also made a solid start under his guidance, losing just two of their first ten fixtures. A 1-1 draw with AmaZulu extended their unbeaten league run to four games, leaving them just two points behind Cape Town City in seventh place. Chippa United’s resolve was evident in their last match, where they finished with nine men after the dismissals of Thabiso Lebitso and Elmo Kambindu.
The last head-to-head meeting between these two sides in January ended in a 1-1 draw, while Cape Town City emerged victorious with a 2-1 win in October 2022. Keep an eye on Khanyisa Mayo, who has netted five goals for Cape Town City, and Elmo Kambindu, with three league goals for Chippa United.

ROYAL AM vs GOLDEN ARROWS
Venue: Harry Gwala Stadium (19h30)
Struggling Royal AM welcome in-form Golden Arrows, hoping to extend their unbeaten streak against their rivals in their fifth meeting.

In their most recent league match, Royal suffered a 3-1 defeat at the hands of SuperSport United. Golden Arrows, under the guidance of coach Mabhuthi Khenyeza, had a strong start to the season but recently faced a setback in the Carling Knockout Cup quarter-final with a 3-0 defeat to AmaZulu FC. However, they had previously won their last four league matches.
The top scorers for Golden Arrows include Lungelo Nguse with three goals, and Ryan Moon and Knox Mutizwa, both with two goals. On the other side, Hopewell Cele has found the net twice in the league for Royal AM.
