Marumo Gallants — Bahlabani, "The Warriors" — are one of the most distinctive clubs in the modern Premier Soccer League. Founded in 2020 through a relocation and rebrand of the historic Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila operation, the club is based in Limpopo and plays home matches at the impressive Toyota Stadium (capacity 48 000). Bahlabani are best known for the 2022 CAF Confederation Cup run that took them to the quarter-finals in their first continental campaign — a remarkable achievement for a club still finding its identity at top-flight level.
The 2025/26 season has been the standout campaign of the Marumo Gallants era. The club reached the 2025/26 Carling Knockout final in December 2025, where they faced Orlando Pirates at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium — a moment that put Bahlabani on the national stage. In the league, Gallants currently sit on 23 points in the bottom third of the Betway Premiership and are in the relegation conversation, but the cup run is the story of the season.
Marumo Gallants' last ten league matches have produced classic relegation-fight reading — narrow defeats, frustrating draws and occasional crucial wins. The team's run to the Carling Knockout final demonstrated tactical flexibility that hasn't always been visible week-to-week in the league, including disciplined performances against top-half opposition over 90 minutes.
Home form at Toyota Stadium has been the steadier of the two — a vast, atmospheric venue when filled, where Bahlabani have produced their most resilient performances. Away form has been considerably weaker.
The squad is built on a foundation of experienced campaigners with several former PSL professionals adding leadership, supported by emerging Limpopo and Mpumalanga talent. The cup run forced rotation and squad depth in ways that the league campaign hasn't always demanded — and that depth is now part of what makes Bahlabani a tricky proposition.
Bahlabani are the kind of team whose derivative markets outperform their headline 1X2 prices, especially in cup matches.
We tend to fade Marumo on the straight away win — the road record is poor, even against bottom-half opposition.
