Mamelodi Sundowns co-coach Manqoba Mngqithi says this afternoon’s clash against Sekhukhune United is not a guaranteed walk in the park.
The Brazilians meet Babina Noko in a DStv Premiership at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium.
“I think they are strong on set pieces, their crossing game with [Tshepo] Mokhabi on the left, [Thamsanqa] Masiya on the right [he’s] very quick and [has] very good delivery and they also have [Roderick] Kabwe on the left who is also very good with the delivery of setpieces. The central midfielders of [Linda] Mntambo and [Glen] Motsepe is very solid in making life every difficult for everyone, and the back four with [Edwin] Gyimah and [Daniel] Cardoso inside, and Nyiko Mobbie makes it a very powerful team to deal with and we know very well that we are playing against a very good team that is very offensive as well,” said Mngqithi.
“They have not started very well this season, they’ve played very well but unfortunately in their last match against Richards they could have easily scored more than five goals,they got some really good chances in that match, so it’s people that we can not take for granted, people that are working really hard. They’ve employed the services of some of the best strikers in the country in [Victor] Letsoalo, [Tshegofatso] Mabaso and unfortunately [Tashreeq] Morris is suspended for this match, but they’ve been playing a very offensive game with a lot of crosses into the box and creating problems but unfortunately they have not really scored as many goals as they have created. It’s a little bit of a banana skin that needs us to tread very carefully because they are a very formidable side,” he added.
Kickoff for this clash is 3pm.
