"It not going to be easy because we are playing them away. I know it's difficult to beat them at home. They have been doing well," Jembula said.
"Another thing is that we haven't been doing well away from home. So we have to improve our away form. We need to collect maximum points."
When Stars and Polokwane clashed in the first-round encounter, the latter emerged 1-0 winners at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in November, 2015.
