Matsatsantsa a Pitori will face Stellenbosch in the quarterfinal of the competition at Peter Mokaba Stadium on Sunday, looking to progress to the next round of the competition.
“Cup games I think take the pressure off when you have new players because for me, the league matches are the pressure fixtures because that’s more important,” Hunt said. “And you can always have an underdog in a cup competition coming through like we have had many times in all the different cup competitions. I don’t think it is going to be different as it comes at the right or wrong time. We don’t know ... it’s always at the start of the season.
Hunt also feels Stellies will give them a test as they are a difficult side to play against. “They will always be committed. They got a hell of a result last week [1-0 win against Orlando Pirates], obviously not so good last night [Wednesday, losing 0-1 to Polokwane City],” he said.
