Meanwhile, Glamour Boys coach Stuart Baxter says his unit will approach todays fixture with the same intensity they displayed in last weekends 4-0 rout of Mpumalanga Black Aces in the MTN8. It will be the same challenge that we faced last week ahead of the MTN8 quarterfinal agains Black Aces, Baxter told his clubs official website. It is going to be another tough one. At this stage we all go into the game with little information about the opponents. READ: Khune wary of unknown Stars We will approach the game with the same energy that we showed last weekend. We hope to display good football and gain the maximum points. Every point will be a matter of winning or losing the League title at the end.

Baxters men won 2-0 on their previous visit to Bethlehem last season, but were held 1-1 at home.
