Moroka Swallows vs Cape Town City Prediction: Visitors are well positioned to get a win here

The second match of the DSTV premier league promises to be intriguing as Moroka Swallows lock horns with Cape Town City on Tuesday. Both teams failed to win their first game of the season; however, the visitors pose more threats than the home team.

Moroka Swallows (14th)

Last season's position: 15th 

Orlando Pirates beat them in the opening game of the season. Despite having (7) shots in that encounter, they failed to find the back of the net as the game ended in a (1-0) loss.

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.

In the previous fifteen home games, they won two, drawn six and lost seven.

Cape Town City (16th)

Last season's position (2nd)

The Citizens failed to win their opening match as they lost (0-2) to the defending champions. The visitors scored two unanswered goals to cart off all the points.

One of the best teams in the league last season with forty-nine points in thirty games, they finished below Mamelodi Sundowns in second place. The Citizens also lost the MTN8 final to Sundowns on penalties, giving them a rightful claim to being the second-best side in the country. They hope to go one better this coming season, but how they manage with the extra pressures of a maiden Caf Champions League campaign will be the definitive factor.

The Citizens recorded four wins, seven draws and four losses in all the fifteen games away from home last season.
