Orapa United Sua Flamingoes
Coach: Gadimang Tiiso
Colours: Orange and White
Home Ground: Itekeng Stadium
Key Signings: Isaskar Hobasen Gurirab (Orlando Pirates, Namibia), Baokeditswe Talane (GU), Koketso Majafi (Masitaoka)
Prospect: The Mogomotsi Mpote era has come to an end. Under Mpote, Orapa United became one of the most feared sides in the league. The team has made a handful of signings in the off-season, keeping the core of last season’s squad. Tiiso is at the helm now and new ideas could help the team’s cause. However, they are unlikely to challenge for the honours.
Probable Finish: 4th-6th
Coach: Rahman Gumbo
Colours: Blue and White
Home Ground: Francistown Sports Complex
Key Signing: Keletso Lekuni (Eleven Angels), Brian Botsang, Botshelo Mafoko (both Notwane), Cleopas Dube (Jomo Cosmos, South Africa)
Prospect: A seventh-place finish in their debut season in the elite league will give Flamingoes a boost ahead of the new season. The team could feel assured of a top-eight spot even before the first whistle is blown. Under Gumbo, Flamingoes will cause upset once again this season and could move closer to the title race.
Probable Finish: 4th-6th
