SuperSport United coach Gavin Hunt believes his side face a difficult task when they entertain Santos on Tuesday night.

The People's Team have caused the best clubs around problems this season, even ending Orlando Pirates' unbeaten record in the league.

Hunt knows it will not be easy to overcome the Cape Town outfit, but believes that if his side can put away their opportunities then the three points will not be leaving Pretoria.

Hunt told SAPA: "To be honest, we did not play well against Pirates (in our last fixture). But having said that we created chances and took them.

"I was delighted with the result. But Santos pose a whole lot of different problems for us, but if we take our chances again we will be fine."

Santos have a knack of frustrating their opponents and then producing a sucker punch. However, Hunt would prefer it if they took the game to his side on Tuesday.

He added: "If Santos come to play and attack and go for three points, that will suit me. If they play as they did against Pirates and try and catch us on the counter attack, they could frustrate us.

"Hopefully they will come and play an open game which they are more than capable of doing."
