Matsatsantsa looking to get back to winning ways

SuperSport United head coach Gavin Hunt is convinced they will finish the season strongly as they prepare for the visit of Chippa United to the Lucas Masterpieces Moripe Stadium on Saturday, 20 April.

Kick-off is at 8pm CAT (SA, GMT+2)

CURRENT FORM

Matsatsantsa have struggled to get going this year and find themselves five points shy of the final CAF Champions League berth in fifth place after failing to win any of their seven games since the mid-season break.

Hunt's side have only lost once during that period though, although six draws have hardly helped their cause to qualify for Africa's elite club competition.

The Tshwane giants bounced back from a 1-0 defeat to TS Galaxy on 6 April as they battled back from behind to rescue a 1-1 draw with Polokwane City in midweek, but they haven't won in the league for four months now.

The Chilli Boys are making strides under Thabo September and Kwanele Kopo, winning three of their last five encounters and only losing twice since the duo took charge at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.

Chippa have been formidable at home, but they've found results harder to come by on the road, losing four of their five away games.

The Eastern Cape outfit will be buoyed by their recent performances, however, after claiming back-to-back 2-0 wins against Cape Town Spurs and Kaizer Chiefs to close within one point of the top eight in 10th position.

"Yeah, we'll finish well, we still have seven games left. We've still got a lot of games left, we'll finish well, guaranteed.

"I think we're doing brilliantly, we had a bad game on Saturday (a 4-0 defeat to Stellenbosch in the Nedbank Cup quarterfinals), but before that, I think we did very well with this
