Chippa United vs TS Galaxy: Lineups and Live Scores 19/08/2025 PSL
Chippa United will face TS Galaxy in the South African Premier League on August 19, with kickoff set for 19:30 local time.
This match comes six months after their last league meeting, where TS Galaxy edged a narrow 1-0 victory. Chippa United head into this encounter desperate to break a poor run of form, having lost to Durban City last Wednesday and gone nine matches without a win. Defensive weaknesses remain their biggest challenge, with the team conceding in seven consecutive games.
TS Galaxy, however, are also struggling. They arrive on the back of three straight defeats—two against Sekhukhune United and one against Durban City—and are winless in their last nine matches. Their defense has been equally fragile, leaking goals in twelve successive games.
This fixture will spotlight key players tasked with turning fortunes around. For Chippa United, Khaya Mfecane has been their standout attacking threat under the guidance of coach Sinethemba Badela. Mfecane, who leads the club’s scoring chart this season with one league goal, will once again be relied upon to inspire the attack.
