Chippa United form and stats

0-1-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Chippa United in their Premier League matches away. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Chippa's last three away games as they have all been lost.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Chippa United, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus Orlando Pirates (placed 3rd). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Baroka wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Chippa playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were four Chippa United wins, five draws and four defeats.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Chippa's away games in the league this season with only 2 goals from 4 matches. Chippa struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 6 goals conceded from these games.
