Gavin Hunt states that Bidvest Wits have a small advantage over Platinum Stars going into the MTN8 semi-finals.
The Clever Boys were drawn against Dikwena in the MTN8 draw yesterday, with Orlando Pirates being drawn against Kaizer Chiefs in the other match.
Both legs will be played next week, with the first legs on August 20 and 21, and the return legs on August 24 and 25. Precise dates and venues are yet to be confirmed.
“Over two games, you always have a chance but it’s always tricky playing two semi-finals with the away goal rule,” Hunt said.
“We play away from home first so, if there is any little bit of advantage, that is the only one I can think of.”
The new Wits coach admits he was relieved to make it past the quarter-finals, and says in building the team he needs as much game-time as possible.
“I told the players that it was very important to get to the semi-finals because you play another two games.
“It’s a different vibe now, a different feeling and a different club. We need as many games as possible because Wits is a new team with new players.” – Kick Off
