DStv Premiership
Teams: Swallows FC v Maritzburg United
Date: 27 April 2023
Venue: Dobsonville Stadium
Time: 27 April 2023
Swallows could not build on their credible goalless draw against champions Mamelodi Sundowns, as they were thrashed 3-0 by Swallows just after that, last weekend.
The Birds are in an unenviable 14th spot on the table, just three points above bottom side Maritzburg and another defeat could drag them back into the relegation zone.
As for the Team of Choice, they kept their hopes of staying up in the Premiership alive after Genino Palace scored in stoppage time to salvage a 1-1 draw against Richards Bay last Friday.
Fadlu Davids' charges will get off the bottom of the log if they win and Chippa United don't get maximum points against Kaizer Chiefs.
The sides could not be separated in the reverse fixture after playing to a goalless draw, which actually extended the drawing streak in this fixture to four matches.
Here's how they line up:
Swallows: 55. Akpeyi, 66. Sam, 34. Sait, 4. Allan, 44. Mngonyama, 6. Mthethwa, 7. Mtshali, 25. Patjie, 18. Damons, 23. Shwabule, 26. Malinga
