Moroka Swallows vs Cape Town City Prediction: Both sides will at least get a goal apiece here

On Tuesday, Moroka Swallows will play their first home game against Cape Town City at the Dobsonville Stadium. The visitors are one of the best-attacking teams in the division, and we expect a more open encounter here.

Moroka Swallows

The Beautiful Birds began their DSTV Premier League campaign with a (1-1) share of the spoils against Golden Arrows. Moroka Swallows dominated the encounter and had more of the ball than the home side. Mabasa canceled out the Mthanti early lead for the home side to secure a point for his team. 

Moroka Swallows didn’t struggle last season after finishing in the top half of the table. They’ll continue from where they stopped last season, and we expect them to give the visitors a tough game here. 

Cape Town City

The Citizens kicked off their season with a slim (1-0) victory against the newly promoted team Polokwane City. Cape Town City left it late to secure the maximum points when Jo Paciencis found the back of the net in the 92nd minute. Before the goal, the Citizens tested the opposition's defense but were denied by the heroic effort from the Polokwane City keeper, who denied them four times. 

The biggest motivation for them this season is extending the contract of their best player and the highest goal scorer in the league last season, Erick Mayo, who scored twelve times while assisting two. We expect the Citizens to secure a top-three finish this season, considering the quality of their squad.

Expert Betting Tips

Moroka Swallows have won twice, while Cape Town City have recorded three wins and three games ending in a share of the spoils. I think Steve Komphela's men were great in their opening game, creating lots of chances and scoring just once. They are unbeaten over their previous five games and play at home. On the other hand, the visitors play similarly to the home team, and we expect an even contest with both sides getting a goal for 2.11.

We expect to see more than two goals here for 2.51.

Both sides might settle for a halftime draw here for 1.90.

Good luck!
