SuperSport United captain Dean Furman is confident Matsatsantsa will bounce back and secure a top-eight finish in the Absa Premiership this season.

Matsatsantsa will be hoping claim all three points against Bidvest Wits after suffering a 2-0 defeat to the Clever Boys when the two sides met a fortnight ago.

The 29-year-old says the team is motivated and ready to take on Gavin Hunt’s side as they continue on their bid to book a top-eight finish in the PSL.

“We are looking forward to the game on Saturday. It’s going to be a tough one but we are ready and hoping for a positive result,” Furman told his club’s official website.

“It’s been tough to the team but we will certainly bounce back and cement a place in the top-eight bracket.

“The players are looking good and we will continue pulling in the same direction to the last day of the season.”

SuperSport currently occupy 11th place in the PSL standings with 21 points from 17 games, trailing eighth place Chippa United by three points.
