SuperSport United coach Eric Tinkler says his side can expect a “tough game” against a well-organised Bloemfontein Celtic side in the Telkom Knockout Cup on Saturday.

Siwelele and Matsatsantsa will both battle it out for a place in the last eight of the competition when the two sides meet at the Dr Molemela Stadium.

“Look, we can expect a tough game in Bloemfontein, Celtic are an organised side – we expect a tough game,” Tinkler said to the media ahead of the Telkom Knockout.

“Obviously SuperSport reached the final last season and I was involved as well, but we want to continue in the tournament.

“The mood is high in the camp after a good run in the past few weeks, but we need to be consistent as a team.

“It’s been a great run of form and credit goes to the guys, but I would like to be in the next round, and we have to work hard for that to happen.”

SuperSport United against Bloemfontein Celtic kicks off at 18:00.
