FCB Nyasa Big Bullets switch focus to the Airtel Top 8 on Saturday when they face Ekhaya in the second leg of the quarterfinals at Mpira Stadium, with kick-off scheduled for 14:30.
The People’s Team turn their attention back to the Airtel Top 8 this weekend when we take on Ekhaya in the second leg of the quarterfinals at Mpira Stadium.
The defending champions head into the decisive encounter buoyed by three consecutive FDH Bank Premiership victories under head coach Wedson Nyirenda.
The tie remains finely poised after the two sides played out a 1-1 draw in the first leg at Bingu National Stadium in Lilongwe. George Chaomba gave The People’s Team the lead shortly after the restart before Allen Chihana equalised in the 69th minute.
Ekhaya, meanwhile, head into the contest after playing out a goalless draw away to Luanar Mitundu in the FDH Bank Premiership on Sunday.
Fresh from Saturday’s 2-0 FDH Bank Premiership victory over Creck Sporting Club, The People’s Team will be aiming to carry their impressive recent form into the cup as they target a place in the Airtel Top 8 semifinals and continue their defence of the trophy.
Although the match will be played at Mpira Stadium, Bullets will be the designated away side after hosting the first leg in Lilongwe.
Saturday’s encounter presents another opportunity for The People’s Team to continue the positive progress shown in recent weeks as Nyirenda’s men look to keep their momentum going in cup competition.
Stay tuned to our official media platforms throughout the week for comprehensive build-up to Saturday’s fixture, including the pre-match press conference, squad update, match officials and full match preview.
