Mamelodi Sundowns are back in action this weekend when they host the newly promoted side, Durban City, at the Lucas Moripe Stadium on Saturday night.
Bafana Ba Style enter the match as a side that came from the back of a 1-1 draw in their midweek outing against Marumo Gallants, which has placed them second on the log. Durban City, meanwhile, sits fourth on the table following their 2-0 victory in their midweek encounter, setting the stage for a high-stakes showdown.
Speaking to defender Grant Kekana, he stated that his side anticipates a Durban City side that will not be resting on its laurels and thus expects a difficult match.
“I think there’s going to be a lot of fight from Durban City. We know coach Gavin Hunt always coaches teams that fight until the last minute. There’s going to be a lot of aggression, but I think the boys will be prepared. Luckily, it’s our home game, and we try to make our home our fortress. It’s going to be a nice game.”
This will be the first matchup between the two sides this season, and Masandawanawill not only look to get the rub off the green by getting a positive result, but they will also look to make a statement by walking away the triumph side between the two.
The Bafana Bafana defender urged the Yellow Nation to come out in numbers for this meeting, as they will need their support. He said, “We would like the supporters to come out in numbers with their families. We need the togetherness as a Club, especially at this moment, and we would really appreciate their support.”
Mamelodi Sundowns will host Durban City on Saturday night at the Lucas Moripe Stadium. Kick-off has been scheduled for 20H00, live on SuperSport TV.
