It's the very first game of the new season for Moroka Swallows and Bloemfontein Celtic. The page is blank, the potential infinite.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Moroka Swallows form and stats

The season before, Moroka Swallows's league stats were 8 wins, 20 draws and 2 losses, results that produced 6th spot in the Premier League. During these 30 matches they scored 31 goals and conceded 23. Performing as the host team in the previous season Moroka Swallows generated 5-10-0 (win-draw-lost) with 14 goals and 8 conceded.

This is expected to be a close game, with Swallows perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Moroka Swallows as a small favourite), we find eight games. Moroka Swallows has won two of these, drawn four and lost two.

There will be little rest for Swallows after this match as they are travelling to AmaZulu for a Premier League game in only three days.

Bloemfontein Celtic form and stats

Let's have a look at how Bloemfontein Celtic performed last season in the Premier League: They landed a 11th position in the league table after playing out 6 victories, 14 draws and 10 defeats. In total they scored 30 and conceded 35 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 1 - drew 6 and lost 8 with 14/22 goals scored/conceded.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Bloemfontein playing away and similar expectations, we found eleven relevant matches. Results were two Bloemfontein Celtic wins, six draws and three defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Bloemfontein are hosting Cape Town City in the Premier League only three days away.

Head 2 Head
