It's early days in the Super League and the teams 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.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Chitipa United form and stats
The first game here at Karonga Stadium resulted in a draw. Last season Chitipa United's home game statistics were 4 victories, 3 draws and 8 defeats from 15 games.The fans are hoping that Chitipa United will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Super League game against Dwangwa United. Before that, Chitipa United played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Kamuzu Barracks.
There will be little rest for Chitipa United after this match as they are travelling to Karonga United for a Super League game in only three days.
Early season goal statistics from Chitipa United's 1 home game: 0 goals, 0 conceded.
Ntopwa form and stats
It's not happening yet for Ntopwa on their travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? Three has not been a lucky number for Ntopwa as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Mzuni match. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Ntopwa have lost on their last two travels.The manager was unhappy after their last game, a Super League match played at their home ground Karonga Stadium. Ntopwa suffered a 1-4 loss to Big Bullets. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Masters Security wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only one day as another away game awaits: The Super League trip to Karonga United.
Ntopwa has the goal stats of 0-2 (for/against) from 2 business trips at the early stages of this season.
