Moroka Swallows vs Supersport United Prediction: The home side will strike first

The South African DSTV Premier League continues as Moroka Swallows lock horns with Supersport United at the Volkswagen Dobsonville Stadium on Saturday. The home side are yet to taste victory against the visitors over their previous eleven games.

Last five games: LLWDL

Maswaiswai's side haven’t had a great start to the season, with four wins in the last seventeen games. Moroka Swallows secured their fourth win of the season against a strong Chippa United but have failed to win any of their previous two games. They recorded a stalemate and a loss against TS Galaxy and Sekhukhune, respectively. More recently, they suffered another away defeat as they were beaten by Sekhukhune United. The host's goal in the 62nd minute was enough to secure them all the points.

The Birds are two points ahead of the relegation zone, picking up seventeen points from a possible fifty-one. Maswaiswai have won four, drawn once and lost three in the last eight home matches.

Last five games: WDWWL

Gavin Hunt's side gradually loses their charm as they have gone three games without a win. After suffering a bit of hard luck on the road against Golden Arrows, Supersport surrendered to another defeat against Mamelodi Sundowns. More recently, they were held to a goalless draw after coming from a goal down to secure a point. Supersport played one of their worst home game, as the visitors missed the chance to take the lead after wasting their penalty.

Supersport are still very much in the race for CAF Champions League, and a win here would see them leapfrog their Richards Bay in the second spot.

Supersport United have won four and lost five in the last nine away games.

Over the last twenty meetings, Supersport have won seven times while the Moroka Swallows have managed two victories and eleven games ending in a stalemate. The visitors haven’t drawn on the road this season but have lost their last two matches. Moroka Swallows, on the other hand, have lost three times at home this season. The Bird's three home defeats have ended in (1-2) defeats, and they have failed to score just once at home this season. We expect both sides to get a goal here, but Supersport will score first for 1.81.

Bet on BTTS for 2.20.

We expect the visitors to win here; bet on an away win or draw and over 1.5 goals for 2.30.

Good luck!
