Silver Strikers impressive run in the TNM Super League comes under extreme scrutiny Saturday when they host wounded Kamuzu Barracks (KB) at Silver Stadium in Lilongwe.<\/p>\n
It promises to be a potentially exciting fixture as KB seek to bounce back from a disappointing outing last weekend when they collected a point in 1-1 draw against Red Lions on Sunday, a day after losing 1-0 to Azam Tigers at Kamuzu Stadium.<\/p>\n
The Central Bankers want to overtake leaders Blue Eagles at the summit of the league.<\/p>\n
Separated by five points with Silver on second position with 19 points from nine games against KB’s 14 points from 10 games, fireworks are expected today.<\/p>\n
Silver assistant coach Lovemore Fazili refused to be carried away by their current form, saying KB were a strong side.<\/p>\n
“The players are mentally and physically strong. If we stick to our game-plan and continue collecting points, it will be better for us,” Fazili said.<\/p>\n
Heading into this fixture, Silver are unbeaten in six consecutive games having dropped two points only.<\/p>\n
Silver have only lost two opening consecutive homes games against Be Forward Wanderers and Tigers 1-2 and 0-1 respectively this season.<\/p>\n
With Blessings Tembo, Mathews Sibale and Victor Limbani in good form, Silver fans are confident of displacing Eagles at the summit of the league.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, KB have, save for last week\u2019s blip, been inconsistent this season.<\/p>\n
Head coach Billy Phambala said the soldiers have put their last weekend’s debacle behind.<\/p>\n
“We just need to be focused against Silver and I have no doubt that we will do well,” he said.<\/p>\n
As usual, Harvey Nkacha, Manase Chiyesa and Davie Banda will be potential match winners for the soldiers.<\/p>\n
In other games to be played today, Karonga United host Tigers at Mzuzu Stadium, whereas Epac and Mafco face-off in another potentially thrilling encounter at Civo Stadium in Lilongwe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
