Swallows FC will be hoping to secure back-to-back victories when they host TS Galaxy in the DStv Premiership on Sunday afternoon. The Birds, who are currently 14th in the standings with 20 points, are looking to move further up the table and out of the relegation zone. Meanwhile, the Rockets are 12th on the log with 18 points, four points above the danger zone.
Ernst Middendorp, the newly-appointed Swallows head coach, finally won his first game in charge and ended a two-game losing streak after a 2-0 win over Chippa United last Friday. However, TS Galaxy have drawn five of their last seven matches, including their first round meeting with Swallows which ended goalless in Nelspruit.
The two teams have lined up as follows:
Swallows: 31. Mbanjwa, 32. Lukhubeni, 34. Sait, 28. Sasman, 43. Zulu, 6. Mthethwa, 18. Damons, 26. Malinga, 47. Wambi, 4. Allan, 3. Isaacs.
Subs: 50. Tshabalala, 42. Khumalo, Makaringe, 2. Sibiya, 7. Mtshali, 20. Musonda, 12. Makua, 44. Mngonyama.
TS Galaxy: 32. Kolak, 23, Munyai, 3. Sanoka, 5. Msimango, 9. Troare, 49. Sebelelele, 8. Mbunjana, 20. Mlambo, 11. Nyama, 7. Mongae, 17. Parker.
Subs: 30. Mere, 1. Van der Linde, 18. Daya, 47. Teto, 10. Hlongwane, 28. Phohlongo, 15. Aubaas, 24. Vilakazi, 4. Mahlangu.
Swallows FC will be hoping to use home advantage to secure a second consecutive victory when they take on TS Galaxy in the DStv Premiership on Sunday. With Ernst Middendorp looking to steer the Birds out of the relegation zone, a win could prove invaluable for the team.
