Though Mamelodi Sundowns enjoy a comfortable six-point lead – with a game in hand – at the summit of the DStv Premiership, the race for second spot and a place in the CAF Champions League is wide open.
In fact, during their last Premiership encounter they were fortunate not walk away empty handed as SuperSport exposed some chinks in their usually solid armour, although they could not land a killer blow on the defending champions. “The reason we’ve been doing so well is because there is no substitute for hard work and effort. At the moment, that’s what the boys are giving. We’re buying into the philosophy of the coach and his technical team… As much as we’ll give them the respect for being Mamelodi Sundowns. When two teams meet, whoever wants it the most on the day comes out victorious.”The teams still hoping to close the gap with Sundowns will be looking to see Babina Noko do them a favour by beating Masandawana.
Currently fifth, a win in that game would have propelled the Naturena-based outfit to third spot on the league table. Since then they have played out to five draws and five defeats. Two of those losses came in their last two matches. Despite his former side’s poor record so far this season, Mphahlele cautioned against a lackadaisical approach by his teammates.
