Ncikazi is expecting a tough clash against The Rockets who beat them 1-0 at the same venue the last time the teams met last season. “We’re playing against opponents who are competitive in their backyard. Our previous encounters against them have proven that. But we’re at a stage where we’re focussing on our performances and the results will be ultimate outcome of our performance.”In other Betway Premiership matches played on Tuesday, AmaZulu will host Chippa United at the Moses Mabhida Stadium while Sekhukhune United will take on Richards Bay at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.
