In fifth place on the table, the Birds may have been even higher on the standings had they not drawn 16 of their 25 matches
Swallows FC coach Brandon Truter has underlined the importance of victory against Kaizer Chiefs on Wednesday evening at the FNB Stadium.
Like log leaders Mamelodi Sundowns, Swallows have lost only once this season in the league - against TS Galaxy in March.
Looking to potentially get into the top three bracket which would bring contintental football next season, Truter is determined for his side to come away with maximum points from their clash with Chiefs in Soweto.
