The match is set to be a close one, with the Mustangs sitting just one point behind both the Bankstown Bruins and a top five spot.
Maitland is coming off a great performance in their 76-70 win against Sutherland last weekend.
Coach Terrance Rone said he expected the same from his squad this Saturday, with an aim of trying to keep the opposition under 80 points.
He said the Mustangs have also worked on getting everyone involved in offence and utilising their speed advantage.
If the Mustangs triumph, this will mean they have won both matches against Bankstown, which would put them in good stead if the points ladder ends in a tie.
Rone expects a tough, hard game and wants his players to match the energy of the experienced Bankstown.
The Mustangs will be without Sam Huggins, who is unavailable for the game.
