Speaking ahead of the weekend encounter, Amakhosi co-coach Cedric Kaze called on supporters to keep faith in their team until the end of the season.
“This team has been in constant progression since the beginning of the season,” he said. Are you going to start panicking, or are you going to start running because of one month of bad performances, while you have been incredible for seven months? No. There are still 12 games to play and a lot of things to play for."
City boss Pitso Dladla added: "This team is really built on character, the players deserve a lot of credit because they don't stop working for each other and they fight every single moment and that's what any coach wants before the talent comes in."
