Maritzburg United vs Moroka Swallows Prediction: The guests will give the home side tough times

Maritzburg will play their second home game against Moroka Swallows at the Harry Gwala Stadium on Friday. The season is still fresh; however, the guests have pulled off one of the best season results. Will they keep the fire burning?

Maritzburg (14th)

Last season's position: 12th

Having escaped being relegated last season, Maritzburg commenced their season with a convincing (1-1) draw against Sekhukhune the previous weekend. They were simply the better team and deserved to secure all the points.

However, they stumbled in their first defeat as Kaizer Chiefs put three goals past them. Their first away game ended in a humiliating result, and they are back home to adjust.

Last season was disappointing for the visitor, who finished the season with five points above the relegation zone. They have added some new faces to their squad and hope to finish strong this year.

Moroka Swallows (9th)

Last season's position: 15th

After a defeat to Orlando Pirates in the season's opening game, the Dube Birds recorded their first win. The action-packed game saw five goals as they saw off a mighty Cape Town City. 

The visitors were one of the most poorly organised teams in the previous season when they finished second to the last. They were so bad they only won four games in thirty matches.

They survived the division because of their victory against the University of Pretoria in the relegation/promotion playoffs.
