The Motsepe Foundation Championship side host PSL giants Orlando Pirates on Saturday at Milpark Stadium (8pm).
Pirates, who have already claimed the MTN8 this season, are odds-on favourites to win the match. However, All Stars coach Sinethemba Badela rates his side's chance to KO Pirates fairly high.
“We have to give ourselves a chance, whether it’s 30% or 50%,” said Badela when speaking to the media yesterday at the PSL headquarters. “It’s a cup game, it’s not like a league game where you win, draw or lose; here it’s either you win or lose, so I’d say there’s a 50% chance. I don’t know how they do the probabilities. The fact that football doesn’t say because you’re a big team you are guaranteed to win, that gives us motivation and inspiration on its own.
“We know that we can win the game. The only thing we have to do is to make sure that the players believe that we trust them and we’ll support them on the pitch. We are a team that wants to win and this game is no different.”
