Maritzburg United remain bottom of the table with three games left to play, but coach Eric Tinkler says they will continue to believe they can beat the drop.

The Team of Choice suffered a 1-0 defeat to Orlando Pirates on Wednesday evening, leaving four points off the play-off spot.
Tinkler has now targeted their following two fixtures as must-win games, away at fellow basement dwellers Baroka and Black Leopards.
"We can't leave it till late," Tinkler told SuperSport after the game.
"We've got to win every game. We have to keep on fighting. Obviously we got to rely on temas around us, which is not the situation you want to be in. But that has been the situation since I joined the club. It's been tough, we managed to get three or four wins under our belt, but now we're struggling in that final third. "The belief is still there because mathematically it's still possible. We've got to continue believing. "We got two massive games away against Leopards and Baroka. Those two games are key, that we collect six points. That's why tonight was important to collect the three points but we didn't manage to do that."
