Kruger United Form & Team News

Kruger United were only formed in 2023 and immediately earned promotion to the First Division. They sit seventh in the table with just one loss in the last nine league fixtures.

They won 1-0 at fellow First Division side Orbit College to reach this round of the Nedbank Cup. A 3-1 win at Upington City and a 2-2 draw at Casric Stars followed.

After beating Highbury 1-0, their eight-match unbeaten league run was ended. They lost 3-1 at Pretoria Callies last Saturday.

Dingaan Maphosa is a key player in defence and he will bring a goal threat. Coach Abraham Mongoya has the experience of former Sundowns midfielder George Maluleka to call upon.

Attacker Thato Nkwana (three goals) and midfielder Thapelo Matlhoko (four goals) are the main sources of goals.
