Competition: Malawi Super League
Date: Sat 16.November
Match begins: 12:30 (UTC)
Venue: Dedza Stadium (6000 seats)

Struggling Masters Security will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Be Forward Wanderers in the upcoming league round. It’s 16th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Be Forward Wanderers have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 18-8-4 (win-draw-loss) from 30 matches.
