Mokwena has been facing inconsistent outcomes recently, having lost crucial points in four latest league matches, which has placed him under significant strain as supporters voiced their dissatisfaction over the unsatisfactory results.
The encounter against Rabat has been seemingly characterized as do-or-die for the 38-year-old coach, as reports suggest that he might face the sack if his team bows out of the cup competition.
