Victories have been hard to come by for the Pretoria outfit and this campaign has seen them being labelled the 'Draw Kings' for tying 11 of their 14 PSL matches, while opponents Dikwena top the Q-2 Table after a stream of good results.
"We are preparing for this game like we do for every other opponent," Maluleka told Football411.
"It's going to be tough because they are very high in confidence and have momentum going for them so we really have to dig deep for the three points.
"We know we've been struggling to win, but the win in our last match gave us a huge boost because we really needed to go up against a team like Start with high morale."
Matsatsantsa defeated Moroka Swallows 3-1 away from home last time out.
"We won't make it any easier for them too, so this should be an exciting game overall," Maluleka added.
Meanwhile, the 23-year-old midfielder has cited injury as the reason for in-form team-mate Kermit Erasmus' omission from the current Bafana squad set to face Malawi in a weeks time.
"Kermit (Erasmus) is just on another level. I played with him in the junior national team and he was actually my twin striker so I know what I'm talking about," he said.
"I think he is a quality player and still has a lot to offer our football. He was injured after the match against Zambia which kept him out for up to two games which may probably be the reason."
On his snub, Maluleka added: "Just like it is with Kermit, anything is possible (both hoping to make the final AFCON squad).
"Personally, I'm not taking it in a bad or negative way. This clearly means I need to work harder. I know my capabilities so I'm really not stressing."
