It's trouble wherever Rumphi are playing these days as they have suffered six straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.
Rumphi United's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-5 versus Moyale Barracks (placed 8th). Rumphi were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
