The league table in Premier League tells a story about these teams so far, with Moroka Swallows leading Chippa United by 16 points. Match preview to follow:
- Moroka Swallows has the fewest conceded goals (2) at home in Premier League
- Chippa United has the most dropped points from leading position (10) in Premier League
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Swallows and Chippa United.
Chippa United have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Moroka Swallows form and stats
When playing at home in the Premier League, Moroka Swallows, who have the fewest conceded goals (2) at home in Premier League, have managed 4 wins, 1 draw and suffered 0 defeats from 5 games. Moroka Swallows has a nice streak going on as they have played 18 consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the University of Pretoria defeat 318 days ago. 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 13 home games in the league.
A good away victory last time out for Swallows, who won 1-0 against Baroka (placed 9th). Preceding that game was the away draw at Orlando Pirates that finished 1-1.
There will be little rest for Swallows after this match as they are travelling to Mamelodi Sundowns for a Premier League game in only three days.
Swallows has scored 7 league goals at home this season, in 5 matches. Moroka Swallows have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 2 goals.
Chippa United form and stats
Chippa United, who have the most conceded goals (12) away in Premier League, have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 1-2-5 (8 played).
Chippa play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting TS Galaxy (placed 16th). A 0-1 defeat away at Golden Arrows before that.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Chippa United manager L. Seema as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Black Leopards.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Chippa United as they have only managed to score 6 times from 8 away games in the league. Chippa United's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 12 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last four matches): Swallows zero wins, one draw and Chippa United three victories. As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
