Having made a messy TNM Super League start last season, it is safe to suggest that Red Lions are, comparatively, able to roar again on the pitch this campaign.<\/p>\n
Lions are on third place on the log table with four points from two games, thanks to their strikers in chief, Kumbukani Mwambene and Innocent Bokosi\u2019s red-hot form.<\/p>\n
Bokosi grabbed the first hat-trick of the season in a 4-1 demolition of Blantyre United whereas Mwambeni netted once in a 1-1 draw against Premier Bet Wizards.<\/p>\n
However, Lions Coach, Mike Kumanga, knows that such a positive vibe to the season could change today if they do not get their tactics right against surprise leaders, Mzuni at Mzuzu Stadium.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith Mzuni, your game-plan can be rendered useless. They have good players. They are tough customers so we will go to Mzuzu cautiously,\u201d Kumanga said on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Kumanga is cautions because last season\u2019s league meetings between the two teams ended in draws.<\/p>\n
Today, the visitors are likely to partner Mwambeni and Bokosi in attack behind the midfield of Chikoti Chirwa, McPeter Makwale and Loti Chawinga.<\/p>\n
Benesi Kaisi should lead the backline comprising Gift Nkhonjera and Mphatso Ngwira. Clement Mlombwa is tipped to get the nod between the sticks.<\/p>\n
Ahead of the game, Mzuni Coach, Alex Ngwira, also put last season\u2019s results against the soldiers into the contest.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe fact that we are at our backyard means more pressure on us. Our fans are growing in numbers and they would be expecting nothing short of a win,\u201d said Ngwira who will once again rely on Captain, Luwayo Kayira, to drive the students from the midfield.<\/p>\n
Lazarus Nyemera bagged a double in last week\u2019s 3-0 punishment of Mafco so he should lead the frontline in company of Hudson Milanzi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
