Moroka Swallows form and stats
Overall Premier League stats at home this season for Moroka Swallows are 4-5-0 (wins-draw-losses). In general it's been a long time since Swallows tasted defeat here at Volkswagen Dobsonville Stadium, as they have taken at least one point from their last 17 home games in the league. With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for Moroka Swallows.
The spoils were shared in Swallows's previous game, also at home. Visiting Golden Arrows (placed 3rd) travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. Before that, Swallows played out a draw 2-2 when visiting Chippa United.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Swallows have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won three times, drawn one and lost zero.
The Swallows fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 9 matches. From these home matches, Swallows have conceded only 5 goals.
Black Leopards form and stats
Black Leopards, who have the most conceded goals (36) in Premier League, have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 1-3-6 (10 played).

Leopards are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, three draws and nine defeats. From a total of 13 matches.
The attacking power of Leopards when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 10 league matches away. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Leopards have conceded 16 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
