'Playing Students not rocket science'

Ajax have made a dream start to the new PSL season, but tonight they face a stern test in Bidvest Wits at the Athlone Stadium, Cape Town.

The Urban Warriors have won home and away - against Mamelodi Sundowns and Polokwane City, respectively.

They also earned a point on the road against AmaZulu at Moses Mabhida Stadium.

The achievement is in stark contrast to the form of last season when they flirted with relegation at one stage.

Coach Roger de Sa is not getting carried away, but admits that the results have lifted the confidence of the side.

Tonight's game is away from Ajax's usual home - the Cape Town Stadium.

That could play into the Urban Warriors' hands on a smaller pitch where the wind can play havoc for visiting teams not used to the conditions.

De Sa says they know everything about Wits whose style of play never wavers much under Gavin Hunt.

"They will play long balls ... and try to play off [target man striker] Henrico Botes. They will put 30 balls into the box and hope to get 10 chances from those. That is the way they play.

"But they also allow you the time and space to play as well, and we must capitalise on that."

Ajax will have Nazeer Allie back from suspension and club captain Dominic Isaacs available again after injury.

Rivaldo Coetzee and Abubakar Mobara have been excellent in the absence of the duo. De Sa has stated it is against his philosophy to break up a winning team.

In the other two games tonight, Moroka Swallows host Polokwane City in Dobsonville, Soweto, and Maritzburg United welcome Chippa United to Harry Gwala, Pietermaritzburg.
