AmaZulu form and stats

In the previous season, AmaZulu's league statistics were 15 wins, 9 draws and 6 losses, results that produced 2nd spot in the Premier League. Over these 30 matches they scored 38 goals and conceded 23. Playing as the home team in the last season AmaZulu managed 8-4-3 (win-draw-lost) with 19 goals and 12 conceded.

T. Nyongo was the last player to score a league goal for AmaZulu and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as AmaZulu haven't scored in 222 minutes.

AmaZulu lost their last game at Mamelodi Sundowns (placed 4th) after a 0-1 scoreline.

Ahead of that match, AmaZulu lost 1-2 at home to Cape Town City.

Moroka Swallows form and stats

Let's have a look at how Moroka Swallows performed last season in the First Division: They landed a 6th position in the league table after playing out 8 victories, 20 draws and 2 defeats. In total they scored 31 and conceded 23 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 3 - drew 10 and lost 2 with 17/15 goals scored/conceded.

Swallows go into this game after a win, the home game against Royal AM that ended 1-0. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager B. Truter when M. Wambi scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 82nd minute. Late drama in the previous game, when M. Wambi scored the winning goal three minutes into stoppage time to defeat Royal AM.

Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Orlando Pirates.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Moroka Swallows manager B. Truter as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Cape Town City.

Head 2 Head

Statistics for the previous ten meetings involving these two contenders are: four wins for AmaZulu, three draws and three wins for Moroka Swallows. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.
