According to an official fixture released by the Super League of Malawi (Sulom), the current leaders Silver Strikers welcome 2nd placed Nyasa Big Bullets at the Silver Stadium in what is probably the game of the week.

Speaking ahead of the crucial encounter, Silver Strikers Head Coach Lovemore Fazili said they are going to continue from where they stopped on Wednesday.
Fazili said he is optimistic his side will carry the day because the players have put an extra gear.
“Bullets is a good team and we have always respected them all these years but they can’t beat our strength now. In the field, our strength is in the wings and off field is to give the boys confidence and trust that they can beat Bullets.
“It is possible to beat them again on Sunday; if we managed to beat them away why not at home,” said Fazili on Friday.
Fazili said he has made sure that the team maintains its fitness level so that it can be able to stand the heat when facing any club.

“All the preparations for this game have gone well and we are looking for a fruitful trip to Lilongwe.
“In Wednesday’s game we lacked cordination good build up from the back and ended up failing to create scoring opportunities. As you saw we never had any shot at goal in the second half. As technical team, we have rectified all those problems” said Ishmael.
