The Team of Choice have done well at home this season winning eighth, drawing five and losing two Absa Premiership matches.
Davids said the fans have helped his young side to remain focused even when they encountered tragic situations with the death of teammates. He is hoping for a packed Harry Gwala Stadium again on Saturday afternoon when they play their last match against provincial rivals Golden Arrows.

Maritzburg recently lost Luyanda Ntshangase who was struck by lightning during a friendly game in April and Davids hopes it will not affect his players much.
“Of course the players are devastated being the second player we’ve lost in the season. But we want the fans to come out and help us get through in this time of need,” he said.
