Before the eagerly awaited match, the team's manager has emphasized the importance for the squad to display both passion and control.
He remarked: "Of course you have to be forceful in challenges, those non-negotiable aspects that supporters expect, but at the same time, you don't want to be reckless and hurt your side."
"There is invariably that fine line and that's what happens in local clashes. That bandwidth of discipline probably gets narrower because obviously, players are so fired up."

"I'm eagerly anticipating, I'm really looking forward to it. Naturally we are determined to travel there and win and bounce into the pause in fixtures with positive momentum."
Important Takeaways:
