Moroka Swallows form and stats

3 victories, 1 draw and 0 defeats. That’s what Moroka Swallows, who have the fewest conceded goals (3) in Premier League, have to build on here at Volkswagen Dobsonville Stadium in the Premier League. Swallows haven’t lost a league-game in 15 attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus University of Pretoria, 303 days ago. The Swallows fans aren't used to losing league-games here at Volkswagen Dobsonville Stadium and will expect new points from this game. Moroka Swallows has played twelve games in a row here without a defeat.

Happy days for Swallows in their previous game, a Premier League match away at Black Leopards (placed 15th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Maritzburg United.

Manager B. Truter felt very clever after J. Mhlongo scored the winning goal against Black Leopards, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 67th minute.

The Moroka Swallows fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 4 matches. Swallows have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 0 goals.

Cape Town City form and stats

The seven points Cape Town City have gathered from their first three away trips in the Premier League is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues.

Impressive finishing from B. Ralani, M. Mdantsane and T. Morris secured the home win 3-2 against TS Galaxy in their previous game. Prior to that result Cape won their away game at Stellenbosch. The scoreline was 2-1.

The schedule is very tough for Cape now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Premier League game at Tshakhuma is waiting in only four days.

Cape have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 3 league away games 4 goals have been scored. It's not easy to score on Cape as they have only conceded 2 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

Last seven meetings between the teams: Moroka Swallows won two, Cape Town City won four and one draw. six games with over 2,5 goals, one match with two goals or less.
