Polokwane City FC coach, Bernard Molekwa says he is concerned about their home ground record ahead of their Telkom Knockout semi-finals encounter against Bloemfontein Celtic FC at Peter Mokaba stadium in Polokwane on Sunday.

City FC has not won a home game in 2017 season, except their victory through a penalty shootout over Ajax Cape Town.

The Limpopo outfit, Polokwane City FC hopes to reach their first major final when they host Bloemfontein Celtic FC at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane on Sunday.

The team which is popularly known as Rise and Shine team are underdogs in the clash against Celtic.

City FC was defeated twice in league games home and away by Celtic last season.

However Polokwane City FC has two aims to achieve, which is to win their first home game and also to reach the final stage of the cup tournament.

The club has received a boost with the return of goalkeeper George Chigova from injury.

Coach Bernard Molekwa says they want to reach final stage of the tournament to make their supporters happy.

All eyes will be on the Polokwane City FC striker, Rodney Ramagalela. Ramagalela has recently won the Absa premiership players of the month award and is the PSL leading goal scorer.

He says they want to break their record by reaching the finals.

“It is shown the growth in the team also we want to make a record and I think we are in the right track to make a record as we said we qualify in the top eight last season’s now we are in the semi-final of Telkom.”

Bloemfontein Celtic CEO Khumbulani Konco says they will not underestimate Polokwane City FC despite that they have a good track record against them.

“We are going to the North to face one of the toughest opponent is a good competition one must go down it will require us to double our efforts preparation.”

Soccer fans in Polokwane say they are hopeful that Polokwane City FC can beat Celtic because the club has been playing well in this tournament.

In the other Telkom Knockout semi-finals encounter, Bidvest Wits FC will host Kaizer Chiefs at Bidvest stadium on Saturday.
