Cape Town City coach Eric Tinkler thinks that his side's results against Baroka FC will count more at the end of the day than a result against the PSL's giants.
The Mother City-based club got it right the second time around by claiming a 3-0 win over relegation-threatened Baroka on Sunday, February 26 - this after suffering defeat to the PSL's new boys at the beginning of the 2016/17 Absa Premiership.

Now Tinkler's side are gearing up to welcome the CAF Champions League winners, Mamelodi Sundowns, to the Athlone Stadium on Friday where they will look to once again take points off coach Pitso Mosimane's side.
City defeated the Brazilians 2-1 in their last Absa Premiership encounter, however, Tinkler has revealed that Masandawana have more at stake than his side at this point, as City are mainly focused on going out there and expressing themselves as potential league winners.
"Like I said, there is no pressure on us. We have done extremely well to find ourselves where we are but we have got there through a lot of hard work. I explained to the players that you don't win leagues by beating the Sundowns and the Kaizer Chiefs, you win leagues by beating the Baroka, which is what we have done," Tinkler said at a press conference.
"We got the result against Baroka, so now, obviously you have a point to make sure that you keep that in your pocket but you have an opportunity to go out there and express yourself, enjoy it, attack, you have got nothing to lose, they (Sundowns) have everything to lose and if you win the game, then you sending a signal out there, that we have quality at Cape Town City and we mean to finish as high as possible in the league that we can," he added.
