Matsatsantsa A Pitori coach, Kaitano Tembo, warns that their opponents from Lamontville will put them to the test, while they are also still not 100% match fit and sharp.

“It's not going to be an easy game. They did very well in the league by finishing in fourth.

“It's going to be a very tough game but I think that we have prepared well.

“We are ready and the players are really looking forward to the game and they are looking sharp.

“Although it will be the first game of the season we will pretty much still be in the preseason because there will be a lack of match fitness and a lack of sharpness here and there.”

This match gets underway at 15:00 on Saturday afternoon. At 18:00 it's a Soweto derby between the champions Orlando Pirates and Swallows at the Olrando Stadium.

On Sunday Mamelodi Sundowns face Kaizer Chiefs at 15:00 at the Lucas Moripe Stadium, while at 18:00 AmaZulu takes on Cape Town City the Moses Mabhida Stadium.
