SuperSport, Arrows aim for redemption
Both SuperSport United and Golden Arrows will be looking to bounce
back from Telkom Knockout exits when they lock horns in a Premiership
clash at the Mbombela Stadium on Tuesday.
Matsatsantsa, fresh from winning the MTN8 title and also reaching the CAF Confederation Cup final, were stunned 5-4 on penalties by Bloemfontein Celtic at the weekend.
At the same time, Abafana Bes'thende suffered their first defeat of the season when they went down 1-0 to Orlando Pirates.
Eric Tinkler's side are second bottom in the league, but they do have at least four games in hand over most of the teams.
Arrows on the other hand are second and still unbeaten. Coach Clinton Larsen hopes that they too can capitalise on their opponents' possible complacency.
"Maybe they are still on honeymoon and maybe can still capitalise on that," Larsen said. "But it won't be easy and we expect a tough game up there against them."
In team news, the hosts remain without injured duo Onismor Bhasera and Thato Mokeke, while Danny Phiri is the only injury absentee for the visitors.
