Hunt's men host Pirates in the MTN8 semi-final first-leg at Peter Mokaba Stadium on Sunday before they meet again at the same venue on Wednesday for their League clash and then again in the MTN8 second-leg on August 25.
While the coach admitted that it is going to be tough for his side coming up against the best team in the country, he says his side are motivated to get a win against the Buccaneers.
"It's going to be tough. We are playing them three times in six days. It's always difficult," he says.
"It's just unfortunate how things have worked out. We are looking forward to it. Everybody looks keen. There are games where you don't talk too much. You just want to take it one game at a time, that's all we can do," Hunt adds.
Hunt said they have a plan to neutralise Pirates attacking players which includes the likes of Daine Klate, Benni McCarthy, Tlou Segolela and Sifiso Myeni.
"We are going to play on the front foot. We don't play counter attack, which a lot of teams do in South Africa. The best result is to win and get nothing against you. But that is always difficult against a team like Pirates. They have won so many trophies in the last two years. They have a strong team.
"The players we have can give us the right sort of balance but combinations take a lot of time. Centre back pairing, striking pairing takes time.
"What we have in our team is good variations in terms of going short, long, wide and narrow. We have people who can play in different roles. It bodes well for the season. It's good for us," Hunt says.
Your comments on this story...
Ask your pretoria brothers dunundunu what we capable of doing to talkatives pretonians.
My fellow Ghosts, methinks Pirates did a good job in signing Mbesuma. We all know what the absence of Benni would bring to us and is also not a 90 minute player, so an equal replacement is needed to ensure dominance over our opposition. Mbesuma is the only striker in SA that comes close to what BBM17 has, he also brings a little bit of pace above that.
He is the strongest striker in the PSL that hardly gets intimidated by gig defenders, an excellent header of the ball, can score with ease, packs a good shot, easily turns defenders through his big & strong physic, good stamina, can play as a support striker or the main one, has an ability to hold the ball thus making the M.fielder play, can knock/flick the balls to other players with precision, etc.
We must not worry, its them haters that are peeing their pants in terror.
You keep forgetting that playing Pirates 3x in a row means losing 3x in a row.
What has changed this season because you already coming up with excuses, thats explains why you are not the national coach because after failing to qualify for the world cup you will be blaming CAF and Mugabe.
I’ve been reading your comment pertaining to Pirates signing Mbesuma. I will not entertain the views from the opposition since they almost Mbombelared me after Bobby “mbhebheni” Motaung-Mathe-Moyo hence I have been quit.

Someone said "chips team is out of mtn8, but its fans are very much in the semis, and will be the most vocal fans to an extent of you thinking their team is in the semis", "they support every Bucs opponent , more than they support their team, but most times end up being hurt
