Cape Town Spurs coach Ernst Middendorp admits it would take a lot for his side to survive relegation from the DStv Premiership.

The Urban Warriors recently suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Polokwane City through an own goal from Rushwin Dortley at Athlone Stadium in Cape Town.

Spurs will be hoping to bounce back when they take on Royal AM at the Harry Gwala Stadium on Tuesday evening.

Middendorp admits that it would take a miracle for them to secure their status in the DStv Premiership.

“I’m busy all day with finding solutions for these games. We have several players not available,” Middendorp told his club’s official website.

“Now it’s a different scenario. We have to see how to approach the remaining four games. Of course, miracles do happen, but I’m being realistic.”

“It’s an away fixture, which adds an extra challenge, however the team has shown determination and fighting spirit throughout the season. Especially in the second half, following the Africa Cup of Nations break”
