Eagles seek response, BT Utd eye first win
his charges: Gondwe
Blue Eagles can reclaim their TNM Super League driving seat when welcoming defending champions Silver Strikers today at Nankhaka Stadium.
The Eagles, whose six-game unbeaten run evaporated under the heat of Mafco last Saturday at Nankhaka when losing 4-1, host certainly exhausted Silver that faced rivals Civo United yesterday.
The Eagles go into this match on 16 points just like second-placed Moyale Barracks who welcomed rookies Karonga United yesterday.
A win today could see the cops, who welcome back captain John Banda, Phillip Masiye and Micium Mhone from national team duty, move up on a superior goal aggregate. Mafco were before the game placed fifth on 13 points.
At Chitowe Stadium in Dwangwa, Mafco host Blantyre United whose veteran coach Alex Masanjala would be looking for his first win since replacing sacked Mario Gadaga.
Mafco coach Stereo Gondwe is in confident mode having managed two away wins, including at Civo United last Sunday, urging his charges “to believe in themselves and build on this.”
Blantyre, who have lost the spine of their squad to poaching, have had a struggling start to the campaign lying 12th with just two points from six games or 540 minutes of football.
