Moroka Swallows form and stats
The home fans saw their team lose the first Premier League game of the season here at Volkswagen Dobsonville Stadium. Last season these fans witnessed 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses from Moroka Swallows's 15 home games.
Moroka Swallows enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Sekhukhune United's place. The match ended 2-1 with Mtshali scoring. At last, a league win after three games without. Some amazing scenes last match, when Sangaré scored the winning goal four minutes into stoppage time. Malinga (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.7/10. Malinga served one assist, hit four key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 18 successful passes (of 21 total).
Before that game, a loss in the away fixture against Mamelodi Sundowns in the Mtn 8 Cup. 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 7 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 3 and lost 1.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Moroka Swallows at home in the league. 0 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
