The South African Premier Soccer League is back in action with another round of matches this week as Kaizer Chiefs lock horns with Moroka Swallows at the FNB Stadium on Wednesday. Both teams have been inconsistent this season and will need to win this game.
Moroka Swallows are in fifth place in the South African Premier Division at the moment and have experienced a slump in recent weeks. The Swallows were held to a 1-1 draw by Maritzburg United last week and will need to step up to the plate in this fixture.
Kaizer Chiefs, on the other hand, have endured a miserable campaign so far and currently find themselves in ninth place in the league table. The Chiefs suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of TTM in their previous game and cannot afford another debacle on Wednesday.
Kaizer Chiefs vs Moroka Swallows Head-to-Head
Kaizer Chiefs have an excellent record against Moroka Swallows and have won eight matches out of a total of 13 games played between the two sides. Moroka Swallows have managed only two victories against Kaizer Chiefs and will need to be at their best this week.
The previous meeting between the two teams took place in November last year and ended in a 1-0 victory for Moroka Swallows. Kaizer Chiefs were well below their best on the day and have a point to prove going into this game.
