Maritzburg United’s Tinkler banking on psychological edge over Baroka

The Team of Choice boss has called on his men to bag two wins over their next two league matches

As they prepare to face Baroka FC away from home on Sunday, Maritzburg United coach Eric Tinkler is wary of their relegation-threatened opponent but hopes their mental advantage can help them.

The Telkom Knockout Cup losing finalists are looking to finish in the top eight of the Premier Soccer League (PSL) and Tinkler has challenged his men to focus on their upcoming matches.

In addition, the former Bafana Bafana midfielder has also expressed relief in the possibility of having defender Siyanda Xulu and midfielder Phumlani Ntshangase back from injuries.
