On the 19th of October, Moroka Swallows hosts Royal AM at Volkswagen Dobsonville Stadium in a meeting of these two Premier League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 24 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. In their last match, Moroka Swallows recorded a 0-0 scoreless draw against TS Galaxy. Neither TS Galaxy nor Moroka Swallows could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 13 and 9 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a scoreless draw,. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 5 of their last 10, while in their last match, Royal AM recorded a 1-3 loss against SuperSport United. Thamsanqa Gabuza struck first for SuperSport United in the 59th minute on a feed from Maswanganyi, then Mfundo Langa Thikazi tied it up for Royal AM in the 75th minute. Royal AM is looking for direction having earned 14 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Royal AM won the head to head battle with 1 win.
Royal AM’s top weapon lately has been Mfundo Langa Thikazi, who has 3 goals in the last five matches. Moroka Swallows is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Mbulelo Wambi and Vusi Sibiya each only have 1 goal in their last five.
