PremiershipWith newly promoted sides Kruger United and Milford opening their 2026/27 Betway Premiership season against Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates, respectively, KickOff looks at whether these opening clashes could decide their fate. It's a dream come true for teams that just got promoted to the top flight to open their campaign against the big clubs like Chiefs and Pirates. However, particularly for smaller sides, how the team starts the season is vital for their survival or punching above their weight. Polokwane City had a losing start after they gained promotion in the 2023/24 term, as they narrowly lost 1-0 to Cape Town City but they picked up back-to-back wins after that and finished an impressive eighth on the table.
