Struggling Silver Strikers and Be Forward Wanderers lock horns Saturday in a TNM Super League match at Silver Stadium in Lilongwe.<\/p>\n
Both sides have endured a difficult league campaign this season. Silver and Wanderers will be looking to return to winning ways having gone three games without a victory.<\/p>\n
The Nomads have claimed one victory in the second round whereas Silver are without a win in four consecutive games.<\/p>\n
In the absence of three key players for Nomads, Silver are favourites on paper to win today’s game. However, Wanderers have enough weapons to contain the Bankers.<\/p>\n
Nomads will be without captain Richard Chipuwa, defender Stanley Sanudi and midfielder Isaac Kaliati, who are with the Flames participating in the 2015 Cecafa Senior Challenge Cup in Ethiopia.<\/p>\n
In the first round, Silver beat Wanderers 2-0 at Kamuzu Stadium in Blantyre.<\/p>\n
In an interview on Wednesday, Silver assistant coach, Lovemore Fazili, was brimming with confidence ahead of the clash.<\/p>\n
“We are geared for the match. The boys are in shape and we will definitely collect maximum points,” Fazili said.<\/p>\n
The Central Bankers have received a big boost following the return of goal poacher,<\/p>\n
Green Harawa, who missed four games due to injury.<\/p>\n
Despite in-house fighting that has rocked the team, Wanderers assistant team manager, Steve Madeira, said they are aiming for maximum points against Silver and Epac.<\/p>\n
“We know that results have not been coming our way in the second round but we are determined to win the games to finish in top six,” Madeira said.<\/p>\n
Rafik Mussa, Boston Kabango and Francis Mlimbika have been ruled out of the match due to injuries.<\/p>\n
On the part of Silver, Blessings Tembo and Lucky Malata are also out due to the same.<\/p>\n
Silver are third on log table with 39 points from 25 games whereas Nomads have 32 points on position seven after playing 22 games.<\/p>\n
On Sunday, Nomads will play against unpredictable Epac at Civo Stadium.<\/p>\n
In other exciting games this weekend, Fisd Wizards host Dedza Young Soccer at Kamuzu Stadium whereas Airborne Rangers face Mzuni at Chitowe Stadium.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
