"It's clear that we have to win..." - Fadlu rallies Maritzburg ahead of crucial clash

Maritzburg United head coach Fadlu Davids has rallied his under pressure side ahead of a must-win clash against Casric Stars on Saturday as they face an uphill battle hold onto their DStv Premiership status.

As Cape Town Spurs are  in pole position to clinch promotion after three straight wins in the PSL Promotion/Relegation playoffs, the Team of Choice, who sit on three points face a mountain to climb against Casric Stars. 

"Yes [it's the decider], I think it's clear that we have to win our next two matches," Davids told KickOff.

"Wednesday's game (Casric vs Spurs) has given us an indication of what we need to do, by what margin we need to win the next two games by.

I think in the next two weeks, nine points will be enough.Fadlu Davids on Maritzburg United's chances for saving Prem status

"I think complacency really gave us a knock against Cape Town Spurs. If you don't learn from that lesson going into the Casric Stars game then I don't think you deserve to be in the Premiership.

"Casric Stars is a different team when they play at home and when they play away so it's going to be a tough game going there to Solomon Mahlangu Stadium.

"We need them (supporters) behind us, whoever is available to travel, and get the spirit behind us to those that won't make the trip.

"Then let's fill up Harry Gwala in the last match. If we manage to beat Casric then I'm quite confident in my players that the last game will be the cup final of the year at Harry Gwala Stadium."

Kick-off is at 15:00.
