Mamelodi Sundowns looking for consistency in repeat Polokwane City fixture

The Limpopo outfit derailed the reigning champions from an unbeaten run in the Betway Premiership two weeks ago when they lost 1-0, but Downs bounced back strong with a 3-0 victory over Cape Town City and followed that up with an impressive 4-0 win against Chiefs in the Carling Knockout.

Bathusi asked for consistency.

"I think the game against Kaizer Chiefs, we played very well and we applied ourselves the way the coach wanted us to play. Going to Polokwane this Wednesday, I think you have to apply whatever the coach wants on the day and then we have to focus on ourselves. Obviously, we didn't play well against them in Polokwane, we didn't even get a shot on target," Aubaas said.

Sundowns are now playing catch up to log leaders Orlando Pirates as a result of that blemish away to Rise and Shine.

Bathusi believes if they get the basics right they can overcome coach Phuti Mohafe’s stubborn outfit.

"We are ready and then, I think we are gonna do better this time around and I think everyone is ready on the team to face Polokwane. It's just that we didn't get a win there, we lost a game. We have to apply whatever that we are doing in training," he added.

The former TS Galaxy midfielder indicated they were aware of City’s strengths ahead of their rivals visiting Loftus tonight.

"They always pump the ball into the box when they play to any team in this league and I think they have a physique striker, he always bulldoze the defenders. So, I think we will deal with that and then obviously you have to deal with the second balls because their team plays with long balls and crosses. So, obviously, we have to take our opportunity to win the match."
