“It’s five games left and you wanna play good football?

“Play good football at the beginning of the season and show off. Now it’s tough, it’s not only tough for us but for everybody. You must take the three points and go home.”

Meanwhile, Bakgaga extended their unbeaten run to five games after playing out to a goalless draw with Platinum Stars during midweek action of the PSL.

The match at the Peter Mokaba Stadium kicks off at 15:00.
