JVW’s Unathi Mabena relishing entertaining clash against Matsatsantsa

The Blue Diamonds come into this match following a convincing 5-0 win over a struggling Thunderbirds side, who remain winless in the current Hollywoodbets Super League campaign.

Mabena says they are aware they will be up against an on-form TUT, but they are adamant they will give their best and continue from where they left off in their previous games.

"Coming up against TUT this weekend, I think they've had some good results recently and are on a high, so we're expecting a challenging but very entertaining game," said Mabena.

"I think they have some very good players and a knowledgeable coach, and they will come with everything at us to set a score from last season. But we'll do our best and continue building on what we've done so far this season."

The Bedfordview-based outfit have conceded only three goals in their last five games, and Mabena attributes their solid defence to the leadership of their goalkeeper coach and former Mpumalanga Black Aces shot-stopper Bafana Nhlapo.

"Our goalkeeper coach, Coach Bafana is doing a great job. He's very knowledgeable about the game and brings along a lot of experience as a former professional," she added.

"And you know goalkeeping is a speciality, and with our goalkeepers from the academy right through to the first team are working under him, they're developing quite well.

"I believe they're all learning a lot from him and they're improving everyday."
