SuperSport United head coach Gavin Hunt has outlined his plan to oversome runaway DStv Premiership leaders Mamelodi Sundowns as the two sides prepare to do battle in the Tshwane derby.
Matsatsantsa will meet the Brazilians for the third time this season at Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Monday evening and Hunt is under no illusions about the mammoth task at hand.
"We know they are good possession side so they are going to have more possession of the ball than us," Hunt told journalists in the build up to the clash.
"We're going to have to play with the little possession we're going to have. It's important for us to do the things we can and do them well."

Sundowns are on an incredible run of ten wins from their last ten DStv Premiership games and Hunt believes the club's success is down to shrewd business in the transfer market.
"You have to improve the quality of the players you sign and obviously financially. People can talk all day long about coaching and tactics but you need the quality to [compete]. And that's the gulf right now. That's why the league is where it is.
"To be fair, they [Sundowns] have a very good squad of players and then the rest of us.
"We've got good players but they've got a certain more than we've got. But it is what it is, we look forward to the game. It's not like a make or break.
Hunt is one of only two coaches this season who've collected all three points against Sundowns and the 58 year old will be hoping for similar fortunes on Monday night.
