FCB Nyasa Big Bullets Women will travel up north for a crucial NBM Women’s Premiership encounter against MK Academy at Mzuzu Stadium on Friday afternoon. Kick-off is at 14:30.
Their first trip to the North in the inaugural national women’s league, Maule Ladies head into the tie targeting a strong response after back-to-back draws — a 1-1 result against Civo Service Women and a goalless derby with Kukoma Ntopwa Women last weekend.
A win in Mzuzu would see Bullets move to 18 points and strengthen their push for a top-four finish as the second round gathers pace.
MK Academy, meanwhile, will be banking on home advantage as they search for their first league victory of the campaign.
With only four points so far, the hosts know that an upset on Friday would lift them to seven and inject life into their season, making this a high-stakes fixture for both sides.
The reverse fixture at Kamuzu Stadium ended in a commanding 3-0 win for Maggie Chombo’s side — a performance defined by attacking sharpness and defensive discipline.
As they travel north, the visitors will be eager to replicate that Blantyre display and complete a league double over MK Academy.
With the second round tightening and every point proving crucial, Friday’s match arrives at a pivotal moment in Bullets’ campaign.
Three points in Mzuzu would provide momentum ahead of a challenging stretch of fixtures.
For MK Academy, this is more than just a league outing — it is an opportunity to revive their form, lift team morale and re-energise their supporters on home soil.
