The South African Premier Soccer League is back in action with another match this weekend as Moroka Swallows take on Mamelodi Sundowns at the Dobsonville Stadium on Saturday. Both teams have been impressive this season and will want to win this game.

Moroka Swallows are in fifth place in the South African Premier Division at the moment and have endured a slump in recent weeks. The Swallows have played out five consecutive draws and will need to return to winning ways this weekend.

Mamelodi Sundowns have been exceptional this season and are currently at the top of the league table. The Sundowns eased past SuperSport United in their previous game and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
