Milford With Seven Points – Promoted Via Playoffs, Tough Fixture List

Milford have taken seven points from five matches since their promotion to the top flight. Their only defeats have come versus last season’s top two finishers.

They lost 2-0 at Orlando Pirates on the opening day before a 1-0 home win over Siwelele. Milford beat fellow promoted club Kruger United as they put up a 22-10 shot count despite playing with ten men.

A steady 0-0 draw at Polokwane City saw a 16-7 shot count in Milford’s favour. In midweek, they lost 2-0 at Mamelodi Sundowns as they gave another strong performance.

Predicted Lineups & Team News

Right back Sirgio Kammies is available after an injury scare. Ibrahim Bance has been signed in midfield but he is awaiting his work permit.

Ntuthuko Mlotshwa is set to play up front once again. Goalkeeper Dumisani Msibi has departed the club this week.

Milford’s coach Xanti Pupuma has Menzi Chili available in midfield once again. He will bring extra creativity.

Sicele Masilela is set for a recall in attack. He was used from the bench against Sundowns.
