There are no Super League games on Sunday to pave way for the African Cup of Nations qualifier between Malawi and Swaziland at Kamuzu Stadium, which is a formality match for the Flames as they are out of the qualifiers for the 2017 finals.
The Flames came out of the group qualifiers without a win from five games in which they lost three and drew two.
The group is being led by Zimbabwe, who have 11 points while Swaziland have eight. Swaziland need to win against the Flames with the hope that Zimbabwe will lose to third-placed Guinea, who have five points.
In that scenario, Swaziland can qualify as the best losers.
Meanwhile, Blue Eagles, who finished the first round at the apex with 32 points, were also the highest scoring team after pumping in 29 goals while rookies MTV Max Bullets let in most goals — 32.
Dwangwa United are yet to register a win at home while Kamuzu Barracks, Wizards, Karonga United and MTV Max Bullets have not being victorious away.
