One of the matches in the 26th round of the South African Premier League will be played on Friday evening at the Mbombela Stadium, where TS Galaxy will face off against Moroka Swallows. Here’s the prediction for this match from the experts at Dailysports.
TS Galaxy
The Rockets are in the race for a spot in the African cups, and there’s still a chance for TS Galaxy to make it into the top three. Especially if they can maintain a series of three consecutive victories, as they did not long ago. However, in the previous round, the team suffered a 1-2 defeat at home against Stellenbosch. The Rockets managed to open the scoring just before the end of the first half, but they faltered in the second half, conceding two goals.
Currently, TS Galaxy occupies the sixth position in the league table after 22 matches, with 34 points. It’s worth noting that last week, TS Galaxy lost 0-2 to Chippa United in the South African Cup.
Moroka Swallows
The Swallows are focused on retaining their place in the elite division. While the situation doesn’t seem threatening for them at the moment, Richards Bay, who have been performing well, are close behind. In the previous round, Moroka Swallows hosted Mamelodi Sundowns and managed to secure a 2-2 draw against the league leaders. The Swallows conceded two goals in the 39th and 51st minutes but managed to come back and score twice.
Nevertheless, Moroka Swallows haven’t won in their last three matches, securing two draws and suffering one defeat in this period. Currently, Moroka Swallows have accumulated 26 points after 24 rounds. They are six points clear of the relegation zone. In 11 away matches, the Birds have secured three victories and suffered an equal number of defeats.
