Moroka Swallows Face Platinum City Rovers in Nedbank Cup Round of 32 Clash

Moroka Swallows are set to take on Platinum City Rovers in a crucial Nedbank Cup Round of 32 match at Isak Steyl Stadium this weekend.

The Dube Birds, facing off against the struggling National First Division team, aim to secure a spot in the last 16 of the tournament.

The Swallows have been dealing with off-field challenges recently, including player dismissals due to salary issues, leading to a shake-up in the coaching staff.

Former Swallows coach, Steve Komphela, parted ways with the team, paving the way for Musa Nyatama and Ditheko Mototo to lead the team in the interim.

Last weekend, Swallows suffered a 1-0 defeat to Polokwane City in the DStv Premiership, but they are determined to bounce back in the Nedbank Cup clash.

On the other hand, Platinum City Rovers have been struggling in the National First Division, with only one win from their last three matches and a disappointing 3-1 loss to Black Leopards in the Motsepe Foundation Championship.

Notably, there have been no previous encounters between Moroka Swallows and Platinum City Rovers, adding an element of unpredictability to the upcoming clash.

The match is scheduled to kick off at 15:00, and fans are eager to see how the Dube Birds will fare against their second-tier opponents.
