Peter Mponda has named his squad for this afternoon’s TNM Super League clash against Ekhaya FC at Chiwembe Stadium, in a fixture that could play a decisive role in Bullets’ quest for a historic 18th league title.
The coach has made five changes to the side that started in Wednesday’s disappointing 2-0 loss to Moyale Barracks in Mzuzu. Musonda replaces Chilipa, who is not even on the bench this afternoon, alongside Andrew Jovinala, who also misses out.
Mike Mkwate, Banda, Paul Master, and Ephraim Kondowe all return to the starting XI. Master and Kondowe both came off the bench in the Moyale defeat, and their inclusion highlights Mponda’s intent to inject fresh energy and creativity in midfield and attack.
On the bench, Babatunde Adepoju, who was withdrawn at halftime against Moyale, is joined by Chawanangwa Gumbo and Maxwell Phodo, both of whom started in Mzuzu. This bench provides depth and attacking options for the second half should the team need tactical adjustments.
Ekhaya arrive at Chiwembe, currently seventh in the standings with 39 points from 27 games, looking to continue their impressive debut TNM Super League campaign and claim local bragging rights over the giants. The People’s Team will be aiming to reclaim momentum and assert themselves in what could be a title-defining clash.
Maule, let’s pack Chiwembe Stadium and make their presence felt as the team looks to bounce back and keep pressure on league leaders Mighty Wanderers. Supporters unable to attend can follow live coverage via Mpira TV or FIFA+, with updates available across all official club channels throughout the match.
