Wounded United collide with Sundowns in Tshwane derby

Kaitano Tembo’s side are looking forward to recover from their 2-1 loss at the hands of rookies Marumo Gallants FC last weekend.

United will collide with rivals Mamelodi Sundowns in the DStv Premiership Tshwane derby clash on Wednesday afternoon.

The match will be held at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium.

Kickoff is at 17:30pm and will be live on SuperSport (SS) PSL.

Matsatsantsa have put a loss in their previous match in the back of their minds and are focused on the big Tshwane derby.

 “We are coming from a disappointing defeat at home, and we are not happy with the outcome of that game. We did not apply ourselves well. The performance and effort were not there, and we got what we deserved. We have many things to fix.

"We spoke about it and analyzed the situation. The commitment was lacking in the loss against Marumo. We need to fix the mistakes to avoid getting a hiding in our next league game in the derby,” said Williams.

Although Matsatsantsa dropped maximum points, a victory in tomorrow afternoon’s clash will get them back into the top three bracket.

““They are the champions and have not conceded. But we will go out there and fight. We have our ambitions and set our target in the league. We let ourselves down in our previous results, losing a game at home.

"We will give a better account of ourselves and we will not make it easy for them. We want to close the gap at the top of the log. We will give a much better performance than the previous one,” said Williams.

United will rely on players such as Williams, big centre-forward Thami Gabuza, Teboho Mokoena, Sipho Mbule and Bradley Grobler.
