Rulani Mokwena Happy With Mamelodi Sundowns‘ League Position! The Brazilians take on Baroka F.C in the DSTV Premiership this afternoon.

This is a clash which sees 1^st and 10^th collide at the Loftus Versfeld Stadium. Mamelodi Sundowns are huge favourites to grab another 3 points this afternoon.

They are playing in the league for the first time since defeating Chippa United 2-0 two weeks ago. They have since registered victories in the CAF Champions League and in the Nedbank Cup.

“We sit in a position where we are satisfied with the way we are playing but we can be better.” Coach Rulani Mokwena tells the club website.

“The preparations went well, it is important to get confidence and that we get the results with the performances that we are having. We believe the performances are always indicators for the results.

“At this moment we are proud of the efforts of the players and the rest of the team. We have been focusing on improving our schemes, defensive and offensive so that we can improve the overall tactical profile of the group” he added.

The last time these two sides met it was Sundowns who came out victorious. Goals from Lyle Lakay and Themba Zwane secured a 2-0 win at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium.

“We looked at their recent last three games and that gives us an idea of what they bring. We also looked at the game we played against them which was on the 9th of January.

“Structurally they have a system in place and are very consistent with regards to the personnel available. They have Goodman Mosele in the middle who is doing very well, also looking at their wingers who are quick and direct.

“They are very direct in terms of getting in the box with their crosses. So we have got to make sure that we manoeuvre around those.

“They have a definitive threat on set pieces also. We have a lot of work to do, it is going to be a difficult game” the Sundowns co coach concluded.
