WE ARE READY FOR ’DOWNS -MATSAPHA UTD COACH

MBABANE – Matsapha United have a score to settle with Manzini Sundowns.

The two sides have met twice in previous occasions. In 2016, Manzini Sundowns were the winning side, beating the Saul Chaminuka led side 1-0 in the Ingwenyama Cup and in April, the latter managed to beat the Kappa Boys with the score margin in the SwaziBank Cup.
The question is who will reign supreme when they meet for the third time? Matsapha coach Saul Chaminuka said Sundowns will be in a revenge mood but they were ready for them.

“Look, this is one game that will be interesting to the football fans out there. The last time we met we were victorious and now they will come hard at us. However, that does not give them the edge over us as we have been hard at training. We are also expecting to claim the maximum points at stake,” the Zimbabwean mentor said.

Chaminuka further pointed out that they will be without the service of their key player Menzi Mamba.
“He sustained an ankle injury in our first league opener against Leopard, and he will be out for three weeks. We wish him a speedy recovery and I believe the other players I have will feel his void, as we have depth in the team,” he said.

Meanwhile, Manzini Sundowns Coach Ernest Mavuso said he wants nothing but the maximum points.
“We have been given a mandate to win this game by the management and we want to make sure that we deliver this time around. You will recall last time they beat us, I was not here then but I believe I know how to beat them,” Mavuso said.
He further said despite missing two of his midfielders, he was prepared for Matsapha.
“Linda Nkambule and Mbutfo Mtsetfwa have been ruled out of this game due to injuries. I will have to do without them, it will not be easy though because I have been using them in the same position, I will have to do plan C,” he said.
