Season ticket holders at Dedza Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Masters Security languishing in the 16th position so far. The guesting Karonga United will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only one day ago in the Super League. That game, against Silver Strikers, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Karonga United.
Masters Security form and stats
With 1 Super League win, 5 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Masters Security, who have the fewest points (8) at home in Super League, are certainly not brimming with confidence. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 14 attempts. Masters Security are slowly digging their own grave here at Dedza Stadium with the depressing streak of not having won a home game in eight attempts. The last victory here came in the Ntopwa match.
Masters Security's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Kamuzu Barracks (placed 3rd). Preceding that game was the away draw at TN Stars that finished 1-1.
This is expected to be a close game, with Masters Security perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Masters Security as a small favourite), we find two games. Masters Security has won 0 of these, drawn 1 and lost 1.
Masters Security has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 5 goals from 10 games. 10 goals have been conceded.
Karonga United form and stats
Karonga United have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Super League, after 1-4-4 (9 played). It's three draws from Karonga United's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.
Karonga United has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Silver Strikers for a Super League game that ended a draw (3-3). A loss against Kamuzu Barracks was the result prior to that, in a home game.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found one similar match played by Karonga United in our archives, and the results are: 0 wins for Karonga United, 0 draws and 1 defeat.
