UNITED READY FOR FSS

Champions SuperSport United welcome Free State Stars in their second round clash of the league at Super Stadium on Saturday.

The match takes place at 6pm.

Matsatsantsa and Stars drew their first matches of 2010 against Orlando Pirates and Santos respectively.

Although the two teams shared a point apiece against their opponents, they are going into the Saturday encounter aiming for maximum points.

“Stars have always been a tough team to play against and with Gordon at the helm, it will definitely be a hard game,” said the United mentor Gavin Hunt.

Matsatsantsa will rely on players such as Glen Salmon, Daine Klate, Anthony Laffor, captain Bongani Khumalo and Morgan Gould who won man of the match award against Pirates on Wednesday.

In their previous match SuperSport stole three points from the Free State based outfit away. Defender Ricardo Katza scored from a set-piece and ultimately won man of the match award.

The coach appealed to the Matsatsantsa supporters to come in their large numbers to cheer their favourite team.

“Come in your numbers and support us,” he concluded.

Gates open at midday and tickets are available at the Stadium at R20 for adults and R10 for juveniles.

First round starting line-up against Stars :

Baron Emille (goalkeeper), Katza Ricardo, Mahoa Tsietsi, Monteiro Dario (Mongalo Thabo), Nkausu Davis, Laffor (Kekana Hlompho), Ntshumayelo Thandani, Carelse Brent (Klate), Isaacs Rudi, Maluleke Jabu, September Thabo
