Marumo Gallants to juggle facing Magesi FC today without thinking about next week’s carling Knockout final against Orlando Pirates

Phillip Ndlondlo will take the field for Marumo Gallants hoping nothing derails his wish to be in next week’s Carling Cup Knockout final.

Be it injury or suspension, Ndlondlo has his sights on next week showdown against Orlando Pirates.

Ndlondlo’s heightened desire to appear in the sold out game is because he will be facing his former club in Orlando Pirates.

And as much as he has not been vocal about it, the truth is that the nippy midfielder has an unrestrained desire to be a hero for his club next Saturday.

This means today’s game against Magesi is one Marumo are likely to approach with less of an effort unlike the final next week in Polokwane.

So this is likely to see their coach Alexandre Lafitte field an understrength starting line-up so he has all his strong men for the much awaited clash against the Sea Robbers.

Gallants after all are not as desperate for points in the Betway Premiership like Magesi are as John Maduka’s side are second from bottom with 10 points.

Yet the points margin is very slender as Gallants only have four points than Magesi on the 12th spot of the PSL standings.

This afternoon’s game starts at 3.30pm at Dr Molemela Stadium.
