Golden Arrows striker Ryan Moon is feeling bullish ahead of his side’s DStv Premiership clash with Mamelodi Sundowns on Tuesday.
Abafana Bes’thende sit in fourth place on the league standings after a 1-1 draw with Swallows and 2-1 victory over Richards Bay as Sundowns top the table with two wins from two, overcoming both Sekhukhune United and Kaizer Chiefs 2-1.
The Brazilians also secured their place in the semi-finals of the MTN8 after beating Swallows 1-0 on Saturday.
But ahead of their next encounter, Moon explained that Arrows will give as good as they get against the current league champions.
He told the Spwetan: “I think it’s going to be a very difficult game. Sundowns are a good team and well-coached with good players.

“So, we will give them the respect they deserve, but with that being said, I think we also need to stick to what we are good at and also back ourselves. I mean, you can’t give the club too much respect, we have to put our heads down and work as hard as possible.
“I’m very confident that the guys have worked very hard and they will give a good account during the match.”
Moon added: “Sundowns, on their day will give you four or five [goals], and if you look at the games they played and analyse them, they missed quite a few chances. Against Chiefs and Swallows, I think they had a lot of chances, but they are still a good team. They have that ability to switch on and off at any time.
“We are very confident and we believe in each other and the coaches believe in us, so it will be an exciting game.”
