Gavin Hunt talks up Stellies' top-eight chances in Betway Premiership run-in

Gavin Hunt talks up Stellies' top-eight chances in Betway Premiership run-in

The Cape Winelands club are currently in 10th place on the Betway Premiership standings, three points behind Golden Arrows in eighth place.

They next face title-chasing Orlando Pirates at the Athlone Stadium on Wednesday and finish their campaign with games against Durban City, Orbit College and finally Marumo Gallants.

While they last lost 1-0 away to Polokwane City, Hunt's team were previously on a good run of form, beating Sekhukhune United 3-1 and holding Mamelodi Sundowns to a 1-1 draw.

Leading up to the game, an upbeat Hunt said on IOL: "We've had a bit of a break since our last game — about 10 days — and while we would have preferred to have played sooner, we are looking forward to the game.

"We were very disappointed that we lost last week [against Polokwane City] because we shouldn't have lost or even drawn that game. It was disappointing because we could've come into this match in a much better situation.

"But we're still fighting for the top eight, and we have a chance of achieving that. We have to try. We've got four games left, and we'll probably have to win three of those."
