"Once again we will be playing away from home so we really have to dig deep for a solid performance against Sundowns," Johnson tells KickOff.com.
"Sundowns are always dangerous, always a difficult team to beat whether you are playing them away or at home – in League matches or in cup competitions.
"They are a very competitive team; to me they stand out as one of the most dangerous sides in the country. But you cannot expect to have easy games at this stage of the competition.
"With thorough preparations and the correct mental approach we can win and progress to the next stage.
"We will have a solid and effective game plan and if the players stick to the plan, then we will do well," adds the Dikwena coach.
While it will be a tough fixture for Dikwena, they will take heart from the fact that they have already won at Sundowns this season – Henrico Botes' goal securing them a 1-0 League victory.
In fact, they have been successful in their last two visits to Atteridgeville, having also won 2-1 in April last year in another League clash.
The Nedbank matches are scheduled to be played on the weekend of April 12-14, but Dikwena will get a dress-rehearsal for that match when they host Sundowns in their next League match after the international break on March 30.

On a side note: I would like 2 announce on behalf of Sunflops pension fund management that the window 4 the Rats fans 2 cross floor and sell their memberships 2 Chloorkop based circus is now open, each rat/gorilla will earn him/herself an amount of R1 937 if they join sunflops. This follows after a concern raised by the players that they are losing games as a result of psychological confusion that follows every time they play any PSL team (except Kho6), that they hear the echoes of their own voices whenever they are shouting 4 a ball which cause their minds 2 tune into a training session mode. This offer opens till further notice. It is believed Motsepe ordered his employees 2 target the gorilla camp as he sees fit following their displeasure with how things are turning at Gayfair gorilla farm. It is expected that the likes of Gorillas like Maminzela, King, Matt & company could change the fortunes in that circus camp with their gorilla tricks. For nearest contact person 4 further details contact Roger Malinga (double agent) @ RogerKick@gorillacamp.soweto.
