Kaizer Chiefs will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 11 points behind Moroka Swallows.
- Moroka Swallows have the most dropped points from leading position (21) in Premier League
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
Relegation threatens Kaizer Chiefs who should definitely be looking for some points here. Swallows are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
Kaizer Chiefs form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Premier League this season. Kaizer Chiefs have only managed 2 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses from their games here at FNB Stadium. The Kaizer Chiefs manager G. Hunt might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
Kaizer faced defeat in their previous match, away at Tshakhuma (1-2). Preceding that game was the away draw at Bloemfontein Celtic that finished 2-2.
The defeat against Tshakhuma was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored eight minutes into stoppage time (by T. Mnyamane). Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at L. Manyama for missing a penalty kick versus Tshakhuma in the 66th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Kaizer, as the CAF Champions League home game vs Simba is only one day away.
The Kaizer fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 13 matches. 17 goals have been conceded.
Moroka Swallows form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Premier League travels is 3 wins, 9 draws and 1 defeat. The Swallows manager B. Truter is a generous human being, having led his team to four draws in a row during the last 31 days. It's three draws from Swallows's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.
Moroka Swallows are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 1-1 draw at Maritzburg United (placed 13th). Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against SuperSport United.
Moroka Swallows find the net regularly in their away games. 16 goals from 13 away fixtures in the league. 13 goals have been conceded by Swallows in these games.
Head 2 Head
The two sides played each other earlier this season: Moroka Swallows - Kaizer 1-0. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: seven wins for Kaizer, two draws and one win for Moroka Swallows. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.Top Goalscorers
