It's early days in the Super League and both Big Bullets and Red Lions are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
- Big Bullets has the most clean sheets (2) in Super League
- Red Lions is in the best form (2-1-0)
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Big Bullets form and stats
The first Super League game here at Kamuzu Stadium resulted in a draw. Last season Big Bullets's home game statistics were 12 victories, 3 draws and 0 defeats from 15 games.
A good away victory last time out for Bullets, who won 2-0 against Chitipa United (placed 15th). Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Karonga United (0-1).
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Big Bullets at home in the league. 0 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Red Lions form and stats
The seven points Red Lions have gathered from their first three away trips in the Super League is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues. Lions has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.
Lions play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Ntopwa (placed 5th). Preceding that game was the away victory against Azam Tigers with the score of 1-0.
The visiting Lions have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 4 goals from 3 games. It's not easy to score on Red Lions as they have only conceded 2 goals from these away games.
Head 2 Head
Bullets-Red Lions H2H statistics last four meetings regardless of arena: Big Bullets four wins, Red Lions zero wins, zero draws. two of these four matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).Big Bullets missing players
