Polokwane City face Milford FC at the Peter Mokaba Stadium on Wednesday at 19:30 in what will be a historic fixture, with the two clubs meeting competitively for the first time.
Milford have made an impressive start to their first season in the Betway Premiership after earning promotion through the PSL Promotion-Relegation Playoffs in June.
Dr Xanti Pupuma’s side have won two of their opening three matches and sit fifth with six points. Their early form has marked them out as one of the surprise packages of the opening weeks.
Polokwane City, meanwhile, have four points from their opening three matches. Bayano Moloto’s side have won once, drawn once and lost once, but they will be looking for a response after a 2-0 defeat away to Sekhukhune United.

Moloto returned to the club ahead of the new season after previously working behind the scenes at Polokwane City. He replaced Phuti Mohafe, who left to take charge of Marumo Gallants.
With Milford already showing confidence in their first top-flight campaign, Polokwane will know they face a side with little fear and plenty of momentum.
For the visitors, another victory would further strengthen their reputation as one of the early surprises of the 2026/27 Premiership season. For Polokwane, it is an opportunity to put their latest defeat behind them and make home advantage count.
