Mamelodi Sundowns head coach Rulani Mokwena has heaped praise on Gavin Hunt, ahead of their highly anticipated Tshwane derby encounter on Monday.
The mind games are in full swing.
SuperSport will be without Ricardo Goss and Grant Margerman who are both on loan from Sundowns, as per the Chloorkop outfit's loan rules.

It was the case in the first round in which Matsatsantsa managed to get the better of the Brazilians.
However, Mokwena, despite crippling Hunt's side, has backed his opponent to come up with a solution even though he will be without two of his key players on the day.
"There was a time a couple of years ago where Gavin Hunt made reference to a Honey badger, and he compared coach Steve [Komphela] to a Honey badger and he told him to Google it. I didn't know what a Honey badger was, although I follow the animals and I spend a lot of time in the Safari," he told journalists.
"I would compare Gavin Hunt to a Honey badger himself. It is one of the smartest animals you can find. And what makes it smart is that it comes with solutions, Gavin Hunt will come with solutions, make no doubt about it.
"He will complain to say I don't have Grant Margerman who is one of his best players, but he will come with a solution because that's what honey badgers do. For sure Gavin Hunt will find solutions for us.
"Gavin Hunt is so experienced; he's a winner and he will make sure he comes up with a team that is strong enough to fight against us," he said.
