FCB Nyasa Big Bullets Reserves will be back in action this Sunday as they make a short trip to Mpira Stadium to face Liberty FC in the ThumbsUp Southern Region Football League.
The Young Maule will be determined to return to winning ways after last weekend’s 2-0 defeat to Nsanje United, which brought an end to their unbeaten second-round run in the ThumbsUp SRFL. A victory on Sunday would see them move to 39 points, further strengthening their hold on fourth position as the title race intensifies.
The Opponents
Liberty FC, coached by former Bullets midfielder Chimango Kayira, sit eighth in the standings with 24 points from 18 games, two matches behind the top-four sides. Liberty have shown flashes of quality this season, especially at home, where they’ve collected most of their points.
Meanwhile, Wanderers Reserves dislodged Heston Munthali’s boys from third position following their 1-1 stalemate with The Boyz on Wednesday.
The first-round meeting between the two sides ended in a goalless draw, setting the stage for a thrilling rematch as both teams look to make a statement in the second round.
The Standings
Ahead of this weekend’s fixtures, Ekhaya Reserves lead the standings with 42 points, followed by Chilobwe United (41) and Wanderers Reserves (37), while Bullets Reserves are close behind in fourth on 36 points.
A victory on Sunday would move Bullets Reserves within touching distance of the top three and keep them firmly in the title conversation.
What to Expect
