Ajax CT look to displace Downs

Cape Town - Ajax Cape Town can move top of the table when they visit league champions SuperSport United at Lucas Moripe Stadium on Wednesday night.

The unbeaten Urban Warriors, who drew with Santos last week, are two points behind Mamelodi Sundowns at the summit, with a return of ten points from four games.

SuperSport, meanwhile, are four points poorer in ninth place but are fresh off a 1-0 win over stirring Durban giants AmaZulu.

In Ajax team news, there are no fresh niggles or suspensions in play although Nhlanhla Shabalala remains sidelined with a serious injury.

Tactically, the Capetonians will look to exploit the pace and trickery of widemen Sameehg Doutie and Tafadzwa Rusike, while the gifted Thulani Serero and clinical Terror Fanteni will provide inspiration through the centre.

Matsatsantsa's defence is likely to take strain in the absence of Morgan Gould, as the former Jomo Cosmos man picked up a third yellow in the victory over Usuthu and is therefore suspended.

Gavin Hunt will look towards in-form midfielder Dipsy Selolwane to provide some steel and momentum in the middle of the park.

Interestingly, SuperSport boast a hefty contingent of former Ajax Cape Town players in Brent Carelse, Selolwane, David Kannemeyer, Corbin Woodington and Shane Poggenpoel.
