SuperSport United will host Gaborone United in the second leg of their CAF Confederation Cup preliminary round on Friday at the Peter Mokaba Stadium.
Matsatsantsa drew the first leg in Botswana 1-1, when Keenan Bezuidenhout’s strike was cancelled out by Sheikh Sesay’s equaliser in stoppage time.
The Pretoria outfit come into the Gaborone clash having lost 1-0 to Chippa United in the DStv Premiership on Tuesday.

Coach Gavin Hunt has already expressed his concerns regarding the hectic schedule, stating after the defeat to Chippa that fatigue is an issue.
“I mean we’re out on our legs, aren’t we? We don’t have legs in us. We haven’t trained,” said Hunt.
“All fair play to Chippa well done. We were seeking all over the show, we never looked like we would get anything at the end.”
Fitness is a major concern for SuperSport ahead of the Gaborone clash, and Hunt will be hoping his charges can hold on for a positive result at home.
Meanwhile, the visitors should be fresh for the second-leg encounter as they have not played a competitive game since the first-leg clash on 16 September.
