AmaZulu vs Swallows Prediction: Both teams are not impressive

This round 24 match of the South Africa Premier League will take place at Princess Magogo Stadium between AmaZulu and Swallows. Both sides enter this match without having won a game prior to the international break, so they will be looking to change their fortunes here.

In their previous games, AmaZulu had one victory over Chippa United, two defeats to TS Galaxy and Stellenbosch, and two draws against Maritzburg United and Royal AM. AmaZulu was only able to score five goals while allowing six against them. During the course of the current league season, AmaZulu has scored an average of 0.96 goals per game. In terms of disciplinary actions, the home team has been given 46 yellow cards and 3 red cards, for a total of 6.65 fouls committed (on average) over all of their matches. The AmaZulu team's strange inability to keep control of the ball is evident from their season-long average of 47.93% possession.

Swallows comes into this match having won two of their most recent five matches against Richards Bay and Chippa United and losing three of those matches to Cape Town City, Orlando Pirates, and Golden Arrows. The away team scored four goals while also allowing eight to be scored against them. Swallows only managed to score 0.83 goals per game when playing on the road, while they allowed 1.26 to be scored against them. There were 169 total fouls committed by the squad, which resulted in 32 yellow cards and 3 red cards being issued to the players. Swallows are not very strong at keeping possession of the ball, as evidenced by their overall average of 46.79% so far this season.

AmaZulu and Swallows have played each other 23 times in the past seasons. AmaZulu has won 10 of those games, and Swallows has won 7 of those games. There were a total of six games that were decided by a draw. In the head-to-head matchups between the two teams, AmaZulu scored 29 goals, while Swallows only managed to score 21 goals.

This game is shaping up to be a very close contest, but most people anticipate AmaZulu coming out on top once again, just like they have in every other match. On the other hand, given that we anticipate both sides to play up to their potential, we should certainly anticipate goals from both of the teams.
