Currently 14th on the log, Coach John Maduka’s charges will want to retaliate and collect points, this is according to the Mamelodi Sundowns Academy product. Despite him believing the encounter won’t be a walk in the park, he asserted that his side would put up a fight to ensure that three points are added on their tally.
“It will be a difficult game because they will want to come at us. They are currently 14th on the log, so they will want to fight, especially because they will now be playing at home. They will be looking to get the three points, which we won’t give them because we also have our own objectives as a team.”
Mkhulise concluded by encouraging the Yellow Nation to come in numbers to support the team in what will be another mouthwatering encounter.
