As the TNM Super League returns after the November FIFA international break, FCB Nyasa Big Bullets enter a decisive eight-match stretch that will define the 2025 campaign. With crucial home fixtures, demanding northern-region trips and fixtures coming quickly, this run-in will test the depth, mentality and resilience of The People’s Team.
Bullets, who are pushing to reclaim the league title after losing it to Silver Strikers last season — a side head coach Peter Mponda coached before returning to Maule — currently sit second on the table with 50 points, just one behind leaders Mighty Wanderers. The Nomads travel to the Capital City on Saturday for a key clash against the defending champions at Silver Stadium.
Mponda’s men remain the highest-scoring side in the league with 46 goals, having registered 16 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses, conceding just 13 goals in 22 matches.
At Kamuzu Stadium, Bullets have picked up 28 points (34 scored, 9 conceded), while collecting 22 points away (12 scored, 4 conceded) — a testament to strong balance home and away.
With the stakes rising, here’s a full breakdown of Bullets’ remaining TNM Super League fixtures.
