Season ticket holders at Kamuzu Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Ntopwa languishing in the 15th position so far. The guesting Silver Strikers will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
It's no vacation for neither Ntopwa nor Silver Strikers as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Ntopwa form and stats
Ntopwa have played 6 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-1-3 (wins-draws-losses). Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Ntopwa with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Mlatho Mponela game, 42 days ago, have they avoided a loss. The Ntopwa manager might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.The Ntopwa fans got no joy from their last match, a Super League game also here at Kamuzu Stadium: A 0-1 defeat against Silver Strikers. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Azam Tigers (0-1).
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Ntopwa have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found three matches with the results: Won 1 Drawn 0 Lost 2.
Ntopwa have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Kamuzu Stadium with 9 goals in 6 matches. On the other hand, Ntopwa have conceded 7 goals.
Silver Strikers form and stats
