Bullets aspire to be invicibles, to go unbeaten whole Malawi TNM Super League season

Malawi TNM Super League champions Big Bullets wants to defend their title as invincible by going through the whole of this season unbeaten, the club officials have said.

Bullets assistant coach Mabvuto Lungo said the champions  are capable of going through this season undefeated.

“We will keep winning and where we are not good, we shall avoid defeat. The team look really strong,” Lungu said.

As it stands, Bullets are looking good at the top of the league table after opening a five-point gap against their rivals and title contenders Mighty Be Forward Wanderers . The champions are unbeaten with 26 points.

Bullets team manager Billy Tewesa said the club will be e looking to keep that gap if not widening it.

“We can do it (go unbeaten all season), the season is almost midway,” Tewesa said.

Out of 79 games of the 2015 TNM Super League, five matches have witnessed no goals scored with 57 either victories or losses and 22 draws.

So far 186 goals have been scored. With 22 goals to their credit Big Bullets are the highest scoring team. Mafco F.C boasts having the meanest defensive setup after letting in only 6 goals.

Rookies Dedza Young Soccer are most generous defensively having allowed their goal minders to collect the ball 20 times behind the net.

Giants Civo United have managed to collect their first full points after edging their city rivals Silver Strikers 0-2 at their own backyard.

Dedza Young Soccer also managed to collect their first point away from home after holding Red Lions 1-1 in Balaka.

Blue Eagles lost their invincibility courtesy of their 2-0 loss away to Airborne Rangers in Chitowe.

Mzuni F.C and Civo United remain winless at home while Airborne Rangers, Epac F.C, Dedza Young Soccer and FISD Wizards (formerly Surestream F.C) are yet to claim victory away. Bullets, Nomads and Red Lions are yet to record a loss away.

Innocent Bokosi of Red Lions is currently leading in the battle for the golden boot after scoring 8 goals. Green Harawa of Silver Strikers is the second player to claim a hat trick after John Malidadi Jnr of Blue Eagles.

Justin Kamanga of Epac F.C and Richard Chande of Civo United plus Chisomo Mpachika of Dedza Young Soccer have been the unlucky ones to score past their own goal keepers.

Civo Stadium has now hosted the highest scoring match this far (Epac F.C 3 Kamuzu Barracks 5) upstaging the soccer mecca Kamuzu Stadium which previously had hosted the highest scoring matches (Big Bullets 5 Dedza Young Soccer 2).

Two hundred and sixteen cards have been flashed this far; 12 red cards and 204 yellow cards. Kamuzu Barracks have seen red four times followed by Be Forward Wanderers and Red Lions twice each while Mafco F.C, Azam Tigers, Epac F.C and Airborne Rangers once each.
