There's no exiting this stadium without a winner tonight as it's the second leg of the CAF Champions League 1st Preliminary Round meeting between Big Bullets and AmaZulu. Game on!
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Premier League game only four days ago.
Big Bullets form and stats
Last season their CAF Champions League adventure ended in the preliminary round.Big Bullets have been very solid at home in the Super League so far, with 30 points collected from 12 matches (9-3-0). This has contributed greatly to their 1st position in the table. Bullets has won so many consecutive home games (seven in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Bingu National Stadium. We remember; it was Ntopwa.
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper not having conceded a league goal in 331 minutes.
A strong away win for Big Bullets against AmaZulu the last match, as N. Nyasulu were on target.
Previous to that game, a Super League home match hosting Chitipa United in a game that was won 2-0.Big Bullets are traveling soon after this match as the Super League match at Kamuzu Barracks awaits in one day.
Bullets are an "over 2,5 goals" team alone here at Bingu National Stadium in their league games, having scored an impressive 31 goals in 12 matches. From these home matches, Bullets have conceded only 9 goals.
AmaZulu form and stats
0-0-1 is the win-draw-loss statistic for AmaZulu in their Premier League matches away.
AmaZulu are looking to quickly end their 402 minutes long goal drought in the Premier League. Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. AmaZulu goalkeeper Veli Mothwa is eager to challenge this, with his 226 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
AmaZulu played 0-0 against SuperSport United in their previous match.
The game before that, in the CAF Champions League, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Big Bullets.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the AmaZulu manager B. McCarthy as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Golden Arrows.
AmaZulu have the goal stats of 0-1 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
