They lost just their second game, 4-2 against Cape Town City in January, and were held to a 1-1 draw by the Citizens last time out.

Ahead of this encounter, Swallows FC chairperson David Mogashoa said: “I won’t sugarcoat this and say that I am happy with the series of draws.

“No, I am tired and want a win now. We had a meeting with our coach to raise some of our concerns and we prioritised this meeting. His job is still safe, but our last two games were a bit disappointing.

“We will support the coach with quality players that he wants next season, for now we just want to finish off strongly and secure a place in the top 8.”

Golden Arrows coach Mandla Ncikazi added: “There are aspects in our game that we must improve.

“We are not as clinical [as we should be] in front of goal. For the number of chances that we create I think we should be scoring more.”
