Blue Eagles aim to put behind their TNM Super League 2-1 loss to Silver Strikers last Sunday when hosting Nyasa Big Bullets in a round -of -16 Presidential Cup match at Nankhaka Stadium in Lilongwe Wednesday.<\/p>\n
In this fixture, Eagles want to prove that their six-game league winning run, which ended on Sunday, was not a flash in the pan.<\/p>\n
Eagles General Manager, Gabriel Chirwa, knows the importance of the fixture, saying his charges have put behind their first league defeat.<\/p>\n
\u201cBullets are just like our wives in cup games. Without a doubt, we will beat them,\u201d Chirwa challenged.<\/p>\n
The last meeting between the two sides at the same venue saw Eagles thrashing Bullets 3-0 in a league match last year.<\/p>\n
Eagles are unbeaten against Bullets since 2014 when the cops lost 0-1 at home.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, Bullets hope to sail through to the quarterfinals in their quest for a first Presidential Cup silverware.<\/p>\n
To realise this dream, Bullets have assembled a formidable squad this season. Buoyed by two consecutive victories in the league against Mzuni and Epac, Bullets are in good mood a head of the crunch match.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will go flat-out denying them an opportunity to score goals,\u201d said Bullets Team Manager, Rahim Ishmael.<\/p>\n
Eagles have been scoring in every game this season with Maxwell Salambula, Victor Nyirenda and John Malidadi Jnr leading the front-line.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, Bullets have one of the best attackers in domestic football in the name of Chiukepo Msowoya, Mohammad Sulumba and Mussa Manyenje.<\/p>\n
The winners between Eagles and Bullets face Kabwafu FC in the quarterfinals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
