Little, if anytime, could inspire the Swallows FC players than beating Mamelodi Sundowns FC and occupy the summit of the DStv Premiership League this afternoon.

The Birds [Swallows] will flap their wings from Johannesburg all the way to Pretoria for a 15:00 league match against Sundowns at Lucas Masterpieces Moripe Stadium in Atteridgeville.

Both clubs are squared on 26 points after 12 league encounters. They have seen out seven games apiece. Seemingly, this afternoon’s face-off is a potential tiebreaker for the title race.

While The Brazilians know the taste of the league title profoundly, Swallows have been out of serious contention for decades. For this reason, they may be more hungrier than their counterparts today. Yet, Sundowns are the defending league champion are precariously perched at the pinnacle through goal difference.
