“These big matches like Sundowns are the ones that gives you more confidence, not saying small teams don’t give us confidence,” Makhaula told the club’s media department.
“These big matches test how far are you in preparations for challenging for the league.
“I think it’s a good opportunity, all we need to do is to grind the results. I think we need to win this game dark or blue. “
Makhaula however, admits that downing Masandawana on their home ground will be a mountain to climb. He says the ball is in the players’ court to make sure something positive comes out.
“It’s really going to be a difficult match, we’ve been struggling to get points. We from a loss against Chippa United and they won, so their confidence is high
“We just need to prepare well and whatever the coach says, we must apply it on the matchday. It’s all about us [players] expressing ourselves and it’s all about confidence,” Makhaula added.
The KZN outfit have been struggling for points in recent matches. They are winless in three outings registering one draw and suffered two defeats.
