Although sometimes these games are unpredictable but taking into account their past performance, they need to come out clean,” observed Bernard Mussa, a soccer follower based in Mchinji.
He said for the Lilongwe fans, the Eagles and Bullets game is a must watch encounter and in Mzuzu is the Moyale and Silver match.
Mussa said Sunday it will be Mafco and Wanderers , owing to their pre-season encounter in which Mafco emerged winners after beating the Lali lubani boys 3-0 in Blantyre.
