Moroka Swallows form and stats

With 1 Premier League win, 2 draws and 3 defeats from their home games, Moroka Swallows are certainly not brimming with confidence. All in all it has been a very rough period for Swallows who hasn’t won a league-game in their last eleven attempts. Their previous win was against Royal AM, 104 days ago.

The Moroka Swallows fans got no joy from their last match, a Premier League game also here at Volkswagen Dobsonville Stadium: A 1-3 defeat against Kaizer Chiefs (placed 2nd).

Prior to that, an away loss at TS Galaxy.

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

Moroka Swallows have scored 3 goals here in 6 league matches, a depressing statistic. Swallows's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 8 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

A 0-0 draw at Tshakhuma's stadium before that.
