Moroka Swallows form and stats

There's been little loot from Moroka Swallows's travels as they have only collected 13 points from 14 away games in the Premier League. Moroka Swallows only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 7 draws. One point away has become something of a habit for Swallows who have played out draws in their last three away games.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to SuperSport United (placed 8th) in their previous outing. The match ended in a draw 2-2.

A loss against AmaZulu was the result prior to that, in a home game.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 19 similar matches played by Moroka Swallows in our archives, and the results are: four wins for Moroka Swallows, ten draws and five defeats.

It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. It's not easy to score on Swallows as they have only conceded 13 goals from these away games.
