Competition: Malawi Super League
Date: Sat 17.August
Match begins: 12:30 (UTC)
Venue: Kamuzu Stadium (40000 seats)

An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 15th and the visitors in 11th place.

Ntopwa and Moyale Barracks should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Ntopwa form and stats

Ntopwa's struggle is real here at Kamuzu Stadium with only 7 points collected from 8 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly 2-1-5. It's trouble wherever Ntopwa are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. Game days at Kamuzu Stadium have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Ntopwa as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

The Ntopwa fans got no joy from their last match, a Super League game also here at Kamuzu Stadium: A 0-2 defeat against Be Forward Wanderers. Ahead of that match, Ntopwa lost 0-1 at home to Silver Strikers.

This is expected to be a close game, with Ntopwa perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Ntopwa as a small favourite), we find three games. Ntopwa has won 1 of these, drawn 0 and lost 2.

Ntopwa has scored 9 goals at home this season, in 8 matches. On the other hand, Ntopwa have conceded 10 goals.
