NEWLY appointed Bafana Bafana coach Pitso Mosimane has his work cut out for him the national side starting 2027 AFCON qualifiers on September 26 against Guinea.

Betway Premiership champions Orlando Pirates will get the first bite to impress newly appointed Bafana Bafana coach Pitso Mosimane when they visit new boys Kruger United in a league encounter at Mbombela Stadium on Tuesday night. Kick-off is at 7.30.

Three points for Pirates would see them stretch their log lead to 13 points, as they are currently level with Mamelodi Sundowns on 10. Sundowns will themselves meet another set of league new boys when they welcome Milford FC to Loftus Versfeld on Wednesday.

At Mbombela, it is likely to be a walkover for Pirates, considering the fact that Kruger have so far lost three and drawn one in their opening four league games, conceding seven goals and scoring only two.

The CAF Champions League-bound Buccaneers, on the other hand, are lethal in front of goal and stingy at the back, having netted eight and conceded only one in the league alone.
