PLATINUM Stars plan to celebrate Human Rights Day in style by sending neighbours SuperSport United back to Tshwane without a point on Wednesday.

The two clubs meet in what is bound to be an exciting Absa Premiership match scheduled for Moruleng Stadium near Sun City. Kickoff is at 3.30pm.

"We won't disappoint them. March 21 is one of the most important days in the liberation of South Africa," said Stars media relations head Aubrey Molobi.

"We promise our supporters another victory at home as we intensify the campaign of finishing the season well inside the top-eight bracket. The team is playing well at the moment and there is light at the end of the tunnel.

"We also want to see the club do well in the Nedbank Cup. It's been a long time since we won a trophy in the PSL (they won Telkom Knockout in 2006).

"We have not lost a game in Moruleng to date and the plan is to maintain our unbeaten run," said Molobi.

Tickets can be purchased at the Mogwase Caltex Garage, Ivory Pot in Northam, Lapa's Tavern and Speelman Inn in Moruleng, as well as at the stadium on the day of the match.

Dikwena will look up to the likes of Elias Ngwepe, Vuyo Mere and Nathan Paulse to help the team deliver on their mission to move out of the relegation zone.

Midweek fixtures:

Tomorrow -

Loftus: Mamelodi Sundowns vs Orlando Pirates (7.30pm), Sinaba: Jomo Cosmos vs Moroka Swallows (7.30pm), Moses Mabhida Stadium: AmaZulu vs BidVest Wits (7.30pm).
