Two in-form teams clash in Polokwane

Moroka Swallows head coach Steve Komphela is pleased to see his team coming together as they prepare to take on Polokwane City at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Kick-off is at 3.30pm CAT (SA, GMT+2)

Eyebrows were raised when Komphela brought in Tshegofatso Mabasa, Gabadinho Mhango and Andile Jali at the start of the season after the trio struggled to make an impact at their former clubs last term.

However, all three players have been pivotal for the Dube Birds under Komphela , who has won five of his nine matches at the helm since taking over the reins in the off-season.

A 1-0 win over TS Galaxy in Soweto on Wednesday saw Swallows climb above Rise And Shine up to fifth position, three points adrift of the CAF places, and Komphela was quick to pay tribute to his players as they are finally starting to gel.

"I think we must be grateful and also be complimentary to our own team. Our players have done very well," he said.

"We have Mabasa who has been doing extremely well, Mhango who has been a great influence, AJ [Jali] who has been a great influence. So it's good to see the team coming together because our primary responsibility is to have points on the table."

Polokwane denied SuperSport United the chance to go top of the table after holding them to a 1-1 draw at home on Wednesday, having come from behind to score a late equaliser.

Lehlohonolo Seema's have now drawn their last three games, although they remain unbeaten in their last six outings and continue to surprise many after losing just three times since being promoted as National First Division champions.

Seema has refused to take all the credit, insisting everyone at the club is pulling in the same direction to ensure they retain their top-flight
