The Riseandshine Boys settled for their fourth share of the spoils of the season, as they came from a game dome to secure the maximum points. They were totally outplayed by the visitors, who were not effective in front of goals. Polokwane City allowed their opponent to fire twenty shots at them, where five were on target, and seven were blocked. It was a poor display from the Orange Boys; however, they secured a point just like they always do.

Polokwane City are having a great run in the league and have been slightly above average this season, with four wins, four stalemates, and three defeats in the league. Polokwane City have scored ten and conceded nine times this season. The Orange Boys have also won three, drawn twice, and lost once on their ground this season.

The Beautiful Birds are having a great season so far, with just two defeats since the start of the campaign. Statistically, they are the best away team this season, winning twice and sharing the spoils once. More recently, they registered another deserving win over TS Galaxy as Keenan Phillips scored his first goal for the Beautiful Birds this season. The hard-fought victory took them to the fifth spot on the log, and they are now seven points adrift of the table topper.

Moroka Swallows have picked up seventeen points from a possible twenty-seven as they sit in 5th place on the standings. Tshegofatso Mabasa, who is on loan from Orlando Pirates, has scored six times for the Beautiful Birds this season, and we expect the striker to inspire his side to another victory here.

Over their previous six meetings, Moroka Swallows have won twice, while Polokwane City have managed a win and three games ending in a tie. The only side that have beaten Polokwane City at home is Mamelodi Sundowns, but they face a stern test against a Moroka Swallows side who have lost just once in eight of their last games away from home in the league. We think the visitors stand a better chance here, and after the hosts played with all their energy against Supersport United, we expect the visitors to ground out a win in either half for 2.07.

Both sides might settle for a halftime draw for 1.79.

This game might as well end in a draw; bet on an away win or draw, and over 1.5 goals for 2.32.

Good luck!
