Struggling TS Sporting will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Moroka Swallows in the upcoming league round. It’s 13th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Gladafrica Championship match only three days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Richards Bay.
