Stellies battle ready for MTN8 clash

Making just their second MTN8 appearance, Stellenbosch will have odds stacked against them when they take on one of the most successful teams in this competition, SuperSport United, in the quarterfinals at Peter Mokaba Stadium on Sunday (6pm).

Stellies were eliminated by Kaizer Chiefs in the quarterfinals in what was their first ever MTN8 participation last season. Conversely, SuperSport have already won this trophy three times, with two of those occasions coming under the current sponsors , while the other was under the previous sponsor – SAA – in 2004.

“I am not too sure how much of an advantage being the underdogs gives you but we do have nothing to lose, as we are in our second MTN8 appearance. We've got a lot to gain and, therefore, we can approach the game with a lot of freedom,'' Barker explained to Sowetan on the sidelines of the tournament's media launch in Randburg yesterday.
