Creck Sporting Club say they will fight every inch of the way when they face FCB Nyasa Big Bullets in the FDH Bank Premiership away at Mpira Stadium this afternoon in Chiwembe Township, Blantyre.
The Lilongwe-based side’s new coach Ernest ‘Wire’ Mtawali said in a pre-match interview that considering their poor run, they will treat every game as a cup final.
Creck Sporting, are third from the bottom with five points from eight matches, having won once, drawn twice and lost five. They face Bullets, who boast of being the only side yet to taste defeat in the top-flight league.
The People’ Team are third with 16 points.
Said Mtawali: “We are in the relegation zone and, therefore, for us every game is a cup final. We are going to fight for a win.”
Mtawali, whose side is coming from a 0-1 loss to Civil Service United last weekend, said lack of confidence has been their biggest weakness.
He said: “We have been working on that and I am optimistic that it will be an improved side. But we expect a very tough game because we are up against a big team.
“However, the players realise that there cannot be a better motivation than giving it their all against such a big team.”
His Bullets counterpart Wedson Nyirenda said the focus has been on improving fire-power.
Today’s fixture will be the fifth league meeting since Creck Sporting earned promotion to the flagship league of which Bullets have won twice, Creck won once while the other ended in a draw.
“Continued creation of goal-scoring chances is a sign that they are moving in the right direction. So, we are working on that,” he said.
