Soweto Derby: Swallows out to derail Pirates' top-two bid
Moroka Swallows will renew their rivalry with a wounded Orlando Pirates side in Wednesday's DStv Premiership encounter at the Dobsonville Stadium in Soweto.
Kick-off is at 7:30pm CAT (SA, GMT+2).
CURRENT FORM
The Dube Birds snapped their four-match winless run across all competitions when they secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Cape Town Spurs away in a league clash on 31 March.
Swallows are now placed 13th in the DStv Premiership standings - 10 points clear of the relegation zone and the Dube Birds will look to revive their ambitions of finishing in the top eight by securing a win over Pirates.
Meanwhile, Pirates saw their six-match unbeaten run across all competitions come to an end when they succumbed to a 2-1 loss to Sekhukhune United away in a league match on 30 March.
As a result, the Buccaneers are now occupying the fourth spot in the DStv Premiership standings - two points behind second-placed Stellenbosch FC and Pirates will look to revive their top-two hopes with a win over Swallows.
