Chitipa United will be travelling to Blantyre this weekend with one mission on their mind; stop the early league leaders from recording a fifth straight win of the 2025 season as the two teams clash on Sunday at Kamuzu stadium.
However, action starts on Saturday with one game schedule for Champion Stadium where debutants Kamuzu Barracks welcome Ekhaya FC.
Ekhaya seem to have acclimatized to life in the top flight league so fast as they currently occupy third position with 9 points having recorded 3 wins and a single defeat.
This Saturday they face Kamuzu Barracks side which is proving unpredictable this season having won 2 games and lost 2 games as well and currently occupy position 7.
Ekhaya have a chance of moving joint top with FCB Nyasa Big Bullets at least for 24 hours as a win would see them move to 12 points level with the leaders.
As for Kamuzu Barracks a win would see them move into the top 4 at least for 24 hours as well as their closest challengers are in action on Sunday.
Sunday’s action starts with a clash involving league leaders FCB Nyasa Big Bullets who welcome Chitipa United at Kamuzu Stadium.
New FCB Nyasa Big Bullets coach Peter Mponda has had a dream start to his career as head coach for the peoples team as his team has won all 4 of their opening fixtures with the latest being Thursday’s 1-0 victory away to Dedza Dynamos a record that Bullets have been finding difficulties to break since teams started using Dedza Stadium for Super League matches.
The People’s team has also been ruthless in front of goal and mean in defence as they have scored 13 goals and conceding just once averaging 3 goals per game.
And on Sunday they face a struggling Chitipa United which is just a place above the drop zone with 5 points from 5 games having won once, drawn twice and lost twice.
Elsewhere, Bullets’ cross town rivals Mighty Wanderers are on the road for the first time this season as they travel to the central region to face Creck Sporting Club.
At the close of week 6, Wanderers had played all their 3 matches at Kamuzu Stadium in which they have won all and conceding 3 goals in the process and scoring 8.
This Sunday they face a Creck side being coached by one of their own Joseph Kamwendo who once captained the nomads and will be eager to prove a point against his former masters.
Creck haven’t had a perfect start this season as they languish on position 15 with 4 points from 4 games and news that Aubrey Dimba Ground which they use as home ground has been certified fit to host super league matches will excite them as last season they turned it into a fortress.
Week 7 action concludes in Dedza where Dedza Dynamos straight from defeat at the hands of FCB Nyasa Big Bullets play host to Karonga United.
At the close of week 7, will Bullets maintain pole position by extending their lead at the summit?
How will the nomads fare on their first outing of the season?
