FCB Nyasa Big Bullets Seek League Double and Title Contention against Songwe Border United
In the ongoing TNM Super League, FCB Nyasa Big Bullets are gearing up for a crucial clash against bottom-placed Songwe Border United at Karonga Stadium. Bullets, currently second in the standings, are aiming for a league double against Songwe and reclaiming the league lead from Mighty Wanderers.
The People's Team had a dominant performance in the first-round meeting, ending in a 7-0 victory. With three points against Songwe, Bullets can maintain their momentum in the second half of the campaign and keep pace with Mighty Wanderers.
Paul Master, a key player for Bullets, will miss this afternoon's encounter due to suspension after accumulating three yellow cards this season. However, coach Peter Mponda has recalled Babatunde Adepoju and Chawanangwa Gumbo to the starting lineup.
Adepoju, who netted four goals and provided an assist against Chilumba Barracks before coming off the bench to score from the spot against Chitipa, starts alongside Gumbo. The midfielder also returns to the team after featuring in the FDH Bank Cup.
Blessings Mpokera and Yankho Singo are also in the squad, with Singo and winger Chikumbutso Salima fresh from national team call-ups to the Malawi squad for next month's FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Bullets have won both league encounters against Songwe, scoring a combined 10 goals. This match is expected to be crucial in the title race, as Bullets aim to maintain their momentum and keep their title hopes alive.
