Mbombela United will welcome rookies Real Kings in the Nedbank Cup National First Division (NFD) qualification round of-32 with revenge on their mind.
The match will take place at KaNyamazane Stadium this afternoon. Kick-off is at 15:00.
Tingwenyama players will be looking nothing less than to avenge the 2-1 defeat they suffered in the hands of the KwaZulu-Natal based side. Kings beat United 2-1 in a league encounter that was held at Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium on September 17.
Tingwenyama coach, Milton Dlamini says they were going to rotate their players by fielding most of the players who has not been regulars.

“We have a big squad and I believe that any player that will be given an opportunity will prove his worth. Our priority is the league because we still believe that we have a chance of making it into the play-off. But that does not mean that we don’t take the Nedbank serious. We want to go far also in the Nedbank,” said Dlamini.
Last season, Tingwenyama were controversially knocked out in the last-16 by Mamelodi Sundowns after beating them 3-1 at Lucas Moripe Stadium on Saturday night.
In the 2014/15 season while still campaigning in the Mpumalanga ABC Motsepe League, United were knocked-out in the round-of-32 by Moroka Swallows who beat them 4-3 in extra-time.
Kings director, Philani Majola told Kick-Off website that despite the disappointment of travelling to Mbombela otherwise they were happy with the opposition – United.
“We are going to do well. We have played them already in the league at Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium and beat them 2-1. We know them very well to say we can compete and actually beat them in their own backyard,” he said.
Tickets for the game are available at Chesa Nyama at KaNyamazane complex at a price of R20 for adult and R10 for kids. They will also be available at the stadium.
