Bidvest Wits coach Gavin Hunt says he is expecting a tough game against Orlando Pirates in the MTN8 quarter-finals at the Bidvest Stadium on Saturday.

The Clever Boys started off their new season on a positive note after defeating Kaizer Chiefs 2-1 on Tuesday in their opening Absa Premiership match.

The 52-year-old coach admits that in recent seasons the Clever Boys had a lack of depth in the team, however, he now believes that his side have the quality to succeed this season.

‘We have lacked depth in our squad over the past 3 years but this season we have the numbers and the quality. Saturday will definitely be a test for the squad as a cup is different to the league,’ Hunt told the Bidvest Wits website.

Kick-off has been set for 20:15.
