Moroka Swallows form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Premier League this season. Moroka Swallows have only managed 2 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses from their games here at Volkswagen Dobsonville Stadium.

The Swallows club members enjoyed the previous game, watching their team host Baroka and win 3-2. A very satisfying win for Moroka Swallows against Baroka last time out as a late comeback secured the victory after trailing 0-2. The win was secured through Nyatama's goal in the 87th minute. Manager Kerr felt very clever after Nyatama scored the winning goal against Baroka, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 50th minute.

A 1-1 draw away before that, with Marumo Gallants FC the opponent.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Moroka Swallows as they are travelling to their away game against SuperSport United in the Premier League. That match is three days after this one.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Swallows here at Volkswagen Dobsonville Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (12 from 13 games). With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Moroka Swallows defense is not exactly impregnable. 20 goals conceded from 13 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

AmaZulu form and stats

As the visiting team in Premier League matches, AmaZulu have produced an overall stat of 3-6-4 so far.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. AmaZulu goalkeeper Veli Mothwa is eager to challenge this, with his 306 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

AmaZulu are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 0-0 draw at Real Kings (placed 2nd).

That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Maritzburg United.

After this away game AmaZulu return home for a Premier League game against Sekhukhune United. That game is only four sleeps after this.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting AmaZulu as they have only managed to score 11 times from 13 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, AmaZulu have seen the ball go into their own net 14 times on the road.
